The Tapukara facility began operations in July 2011 with an initial capacity of 6 lakh units, which was doubled to 12 lakh units within a year. Currently, the plant has an annual production capacity of 13 lakh units, which is expected to rise slightly to 13.4 lakh units by March 2027.
To support the new production line, HMSI stated that it will invest Rs 1,500 crore to acquire 74,000 square metres of land adjacent to the existing facility. The upcoming line will be designed to manufacture a mix of 125cc and 160cc scooters and motorcycles, with flexibility in production depending on demand.
