In India, somehow we have not entered this segment (scooters). But we would definitely enter...it may take some time. But we are working on that,” Dubey added.
The subsidiary of the Japanese two-wheeler giant Yamaha has started a feasibility study and an announcement is expected shortly. Yamaha is the pioneer of gearless technology for two-wheelers. In the overseas markets, Yamaha sells more scooters than motorcycles. In fact, scooters make up almost 80% of Yamaha sales in the Asian markets.
“In India, the situation is totally different. We are going to adopt a completely new strategy for our scooters,” Dubey said. He added that India is set to follow the global trend of motorcycle market growing but gearless scooters becoming popular.
