Benelli Plans to Set Up Manufacturing Unit in India

Benelli Plans to Set Up Manufacturing Unit in India

Published: Tuesday, 26 March 2019 0:00 AM | By Maxabout News | 413 Views
Benelli is reportedly working on its manufacturing unit and talks are already up between the consultants and the representatives of six Indian states (Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh). The availability of land and remaining factors will decide the final location as Benelli plans to build more bikes than just the Indian market demand. The exports to South Asia and Africa will help them manufacture 200cc bikes here while the European and Australian market will get served with motorcycles measuring quarter-litre and above in terms of displacement. The brand is expected to keep the higher displacement motorcycles like TNT600i as CKD models.

Mahavir Group is currently managing the local assembly process in its Hyderabad facility with a capacity of 10,000 units. Once the plan comes into the operational stage, Benelli is expected to achieve this number as their monthly target (including exports). The 2020 plan also includes taking the total number of products to 12 for the Indian lineup. The present-day lineup comes with two 300cc, two 500cc and one 600cc product. [caption id="attachment_402338" align="aligncenter" width="1086"]Benelli TRK 502 Benelli TRK 502[/caption] Benelli’s recent introduction of TRK series of products got them 150 bookings for both the touring and adventure variant. On the other hand, TNT3 00 and 302R are not so pleasing with their high ex-showroom tags in comparison to rivals like Yamaha R3, Kawasaki Ninja 300 and even BMW G310R. However, the lack of single cylinder products from their lineup is restricting them from posting huge numbers like KTM India and other sporty options. Once the facility becomes operational, bringing the cruiser and lightweight TRK options will become easier than ever for the Italian giant. The current Benelli range starts from INR 3.50 lakh for the ABS-equipped TNT 300.

Is Benelli a good brand for bikes?
2023-01-14 10:04:14 AM

Benelli may not be the best brand for bikes due to their poor after sales network and lack of availability of spare parts. The service centers are often slow to respond and sometimes even order the wrong parts. This means that if you own a Benelli bike, you may have difficulty getting it serviced and finding the right parts. 

Furthermore, there are often multiple Benellis lying in garages, which suggests that they may not be particularly reliable. All in all, while Benelli bikes may look attractive, they may not be the most reliable or cost-effective choice.
