When it comes to Indian produced diecasts I usually struggle to think of any other than the long defunct Nicky Toys and Maxwell, neither feature in my collection due to their rarity and high values. In the back of my head I think I had heard of Centy Toys but their products are usually of a large scale and of course availability not good so i've never thought much about them.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered on Ebay that a UK importer actually brings in the Centy Toys range including an assortment of 1/64 scale castings. Very well priced and very realistic considering they are technically unlicensed such as this SUV which they call a "BTZ-DC" but is in actual fact an extremely lightly disguised Indian built Suzuki Vitara Brezza. You'll find decent levels of detailing all round, a pullback and go mechanism, full interior and realistic alloy effect wheels.

Although my diecast collection could never be described as classy or premium I do pride myself on having one which is extremely diverse in brands, country of origin and vehicle choices. One continent which has so far escaped my is India which is not widely known for making diecasts though of course they have had some history of doing so.
Centy Toys who were established in 1990 are probably India biggest and most diverse toy maker who have also fairly recently entered the 1/64 market with their unlicensed replica of the Suzuki Vitara Brezza. A rather chunky but well proportioned casting which despite its BTZ-DC and ZX badging has really captured the Vitara shape well and is certainly contains more detailing than your average Matchbox and Hot Wheels. It rides on intricate looking alloy effect wheels and even has a factory accurate interior too.
Amazingly this was purchased very cheaply from a UK Ebayer who appear to be importers of Centy products.

The Suzuki Vitara Brezza, now just known as the Brezza in its newest guises, is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by Maruti-Suzuki in India. I never thought in a million years I'd see one in miniature form but thanks to the Indian Centy Toys company its now a reality. Even better is that its in my preferred 1/64 scale and with a UK Ebayer selling them so cheap how could I resist!
An absence of official badging tells you its actually an unlicensed casting though it doesn't really detract as everything looks so realistic, especially for its low price point. You'll find a generous array of detailing, not only front and rear but on both sides too as well as an interior and great looking wheels.
