YAMAHA INDIA TO INVEST 800 CRORES
Yamaha India is planning to invest Rs 800 Crores in India in a bid to caputre the fast growing 2 wheeler market here. As reported by cubi[CC]apacity before, the company is vying for 10 per cent market share from the current 2.6 per cent.
The Company is contemplating to bring in more super bikes to India. The company is working on its third plant at Surajpur in Uttar Pradesh. The new models will be churned out from this plant. The Company is expected to launch more bikes in the range of 100cc - 125cc that will generate more volumes for the company.
The Company has 307 dealers right now which are projected to reach around 450 by end of 2010 financial year.
“We will invest Rs 800 crore in India and double capacity to 8,00,000 motorcycles and strengthen our dealers network,” Yamaha Motor India (YMI) CEO and Managing Director, Tsutomu Mabuchi said, while inaugurating Yamaha’s first new-age lifestyle shop in Mumbai.
Yamaha India has company-owned showrooms at Pune, Delhi, Mumbai and will shortly open one more at Kolkata.

Product selection is the biggest problem with Yamaha India, defenitely they have a technological edge, let us see what’s happening.
800 Crores, they have all the good bikes, they need a good 150cc mass bike.
they are comming up with FZ16.. sure it’s gonna be a big hit and will eipeout Pulsars, Hunks & unicorns..
Any chance of a sporty 125-150cc + variomatic scooter coming from yamaha?
They can use the gladiator/R15 engine as a starting base…
Something on the lines of the TMax would be really awesome.
@hafeexius… Yamaha has no plans as of now of launching scooters in the Indian market.
Yamaha will have to give up the ghost of the YBX 125 which spawned so many variants like the 106 cc Libero (in various garbs), the Crux, the 125cc Fazer and the Gladiator. Nothing wrong with any of these but they did not catch on with the consumer and people recognize the original platform even if Yamaha says 28 new features. The FZ 150 seems good. Maybe that kind of bike will turn Yamaha around. I hope it will happen.
