As per a recent report by Economic Times, TVS Motor delivered a total of 4500 units of BMW G310R to their European partner BMW Motorrad in FY16-17. The numbers will definitely increase this year as BMW will retail their smallest motorcycle in more markets this fiscal. G310R is a volume generator for BMW as it can be priced very effectively in various markets, thanks to its low cost of production in the Indian market. It was designed and developed in Munich while its manufacturing takes place at TVS Motor's manufacturing plant in Hosur.
