Once operational, this new facility will have an initial production capacity of 4.5 lakh units annually, which can be ramped up to 18 lakh units by 2018.

Yamaha will also focus on activities such as ‘Yamaha Family Safety Programme’, ‘Yamaha Child Safety Programme’ and ‘Yamaha Female Riding Programme’.
