Yamaha To Make India Their Manufacturing Hub For Premium bikes
Yamaha India plans to make India their export hub. The Japanese auto major wants to manufacture premium and delux segment bikes in India, for exporting these vehicles in global market, as announced by a top company official. Yamaha India is already exporting some models including R15 and FZ series to countries like Colombia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Kenya, Bangladesh and the Philippines.
"We have enough infrastructure to manufacture premium and deluxe bikes for the international market. We will manufacture premium and deluxe bikes for overseas markets from India. There is a huge demand in both the bike segments," India Yamaha Motor's National Business Head, Pankaj Dubey, told reporters. "We are seeing a huge demand for exports which grew at 73 per cent last year. The demand will increase more this year on the back of a huge demand for our bikes in the overseas market," he said, adding Yamaha has optimum resources to export across models to overseas markets.
The company has increased its market share from 5% in 2006 to 12% at present, in the 2 wheeler segment. Whereas in exports to global markets, the number has improved from 38639 in 008-2009 to 66904 in 2009-2010 a jump of 73 percent.
