Benelli also aims to increase the localisation on its motorcycle portfolio in India. The company aims at manufacturing 20 per cent to 30 per cent of the components in India. The big news is that Benelli is also looking to manufacture a new indigenous bike in India on the lines of government's make in India program. Not only will Benelli look to sell the bike in India but also look at exporting the same to other countries in the near future. Manufacturing components locally will also keep the pricing in check. There are no further details with regards to what kind of a motorcycle will it be or in which segment will it be positioned.
