DSK plans to manufacture entire Hyosung range in India

DSK Motowheels, which assembles and sells motorcycles in India for Hyosung, has plans to manufacture the entire range of bikes from the Korean manufacturer in India.

According to a media report, the Pune-based company and Hyosung are in the process of finalising a deal, which will see the Indian company locally source components and manufacture all Hyosung products in the country. Hyosung is also reported to be planning to bring its R&D operations to India. Products built in India are likely to be sold in the domestic as well as export markets as the country is likely to become its primary manufacturing base.

DSK's current facility is located at Wai, near Pune. The plant has a capacity of 70-80 units a month and the company is planning to start assembly of Benelli motorcycles. DSK will obviously need to increase the capacity if it is to start manufacturing Hyosung motorcycles locally.

Locally manufacturing two-wheelers is expected to bring their prices down considerably.
