Yamaha Motor India expects to expand its market share in the two-wheeler market all the way to 10% from the current 4% by the end of the year 2023. Expanding its current production capacity of 1.7 million units, the brand expects to reach the number of 2.5 million units in just a span of five years. The brand is expected to achieve the target by focusing more on the premium motorcycles, as enthusiasts are excited about buying something exclusive and powerful, rather than putting all the efforts in the commuter lot.
