The famous Japanese automobile manufacturer, Yamaha, has been working on the low budgeted bike under the name, Project INDRA (Innovative and New Development based on Responsible Analysis).The company has employed many dedicated Japanese employees to engineer this easy-to-pocket bike.
It has been planned that the manufacturing of this bike will start in the upcoming 180 acres Chennai plant, out of which, 60 acres is proposed to be kept aside for these 8 Japanese vendors who are helping in designing this bike. A confirmed feature about this bike is the installation of KYB suspension. The cost cutting methodology by appointing dedicated vendors for different processes will be done eliminating the need of importing ready parts from different sources.
The proposed dates of the launch of these low cost bikes are planned to be in the year, 2016-2017, leading to a long wait among the people. Also, Yamaha is planning to export almost half of the bikes that will be manufactured in India to South Africa, which the authorities find as the hub of two-wheelers. Other regions like Indonesia and Brazil are also on the list of countries where this bike will be exported from India.
The probable cost of this bike in India Rupees is expected to be around Rs. 30,000, which is a big deal in the present scenario. This low cost will open up the windows for many people who want to buy this bike but are not able to do so due to lack of finances. The present most inexpensive bike of Yamaha is Yamaha Crux, the launch of which has been a history now. The launch of INDRA is sure to mark a good impact on the market as well as the customers.
