One of India's largest commercial vehicle makers, Mahindra and Mahindra, made its foray in the Indian two-wheeler segment with gearless scooters sometime back. Now the company is ready to launch a new motorcycle for the Indian customers.

“We are currently working on launching a motorcycle from the Mahindra stable that can be expected to hit the market some time in March 2011. Our priority is to focus on that for now,” says D Shinde, vice president, marketing, Mahindra Two-Wheelers.

The company is expected to manufacture the vehicle at its Pithampur plant near Indore. The plant currently has a manufacturing capacity of producing 500,000 units annually. The company is expected to unveil models in the 100cc, 125cc and 150cc motorcycle segments, and also in the gearless low and high-powered scooter segments. It has already launched its small gearless scooter Mahindra Flyte in India and is doing well in the Indian market.

M&M may use high end-technology and technical expertise of Engines Engineering to develop small yet powerful and fuel-efficient engines for motorcycles. “We will be present across all segments of scooters and motorcycles as we want to become a significant player in the two-wheeler market. The new motorcycle will be one of the many products we will launch,” said Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) President (Two-Wheeler Sector) Anoop Mathur.

either M&M launches a iconic 2t or it wont have anything new and different for the market in 2011,a market which by then would be exhausted with regular 4T 150ccs with all bells n whistles.It wud be better if they come up wid 250ccs straight away.

That's right. From Unicorn to FZ to GS 150R to YZF R15... We have almost every kind of feature combinations in the 150cc range, with comparatively better reliability.

I probably will choose a 250cc OR a 2 Stroke Fi from Mahindra as my next ride, for market exclusivity reasons (If its available & serviced in my city, only then).

But, Why would anyone (including me) prefer a 100-150cc 4S from Mahindra when we have 3 Japanese companies & 2 Indian Companies already well established in these segments?
Anybody has an answer to this..?

I don't hope much from M&M. Their so far launches Rodeo and Duro are sub standard and I don't hope them to beat likes of Honda/Yamaha unless they foray into some niche segment altogether.
