  • DSK Hyosung to set up Rs400 crore plant near Pune: xBhp News

    DSK Hyosung will set up Rs400 crore plant in Karad near Pune through its Indian unit DSK Motowheels Private Ltd to assemble DSK Hyosung superbikes for the Indian market. The new assembly unit will add production to its existing facility in Wai, Maharashtra where it has been assembling motorcycles since 2012.

    Shivapada Ray, Chief operating officer of DSK Motowheels said :
    "We are in the process of acquiring land for our plant, we already have around 85 acres in possession of the total 100 acre parcel. We plan to start production at this new facility by 2016, and once it comes on stream, we plan to get into manufacturing 125cc and 150cc bikes in India,"
    Currently the DSK Motowheels is assembling the Hyosung superbikes at a small assembly unit at Wai, in Maharashtra that can assemble 12 bikes per shift per day.

    DSK's new plant at Karad near Pune for an investment of around Rs 400 crore will make 100,000 per annum in single shift. The new plant will also have a small R&D centre which would play an important role in customising new bikes and scooters.

    Ray also added that:
    " we are planning to target the stylised 150 cc bikes, Scooters are a long term plan, as the Motorcycle market base is much larger. "
    The company have sold around 1,850 bikes last year and plans to launch new GD250N by March 2015.

    News Approved.

    Now they even have Benelli in their portfolio, things might get busy for them. We wish them all the best! 2016 is still at a distance, but planning in advance is better.


    But guys, what do you think about DSK's plan for 125 to 150cc motorcycles? What brand do you expect them to carry?

      I think they are moving slow. All the bikes in their portfolio are CKDs which will shift them on backfoot after the launch of bikes like cbr300r, hx250, bajaj ss400 etc. as these bikes will be priced in a better manner. On the other front yamaha will join the party soon which can damage hyosung further as I am sure yamaha will undercut ninja in terms of pricing by a good margin and as a result it will give fight to hyosung 250cc bikes which are already struggling. I think hyosung should start making 250cc bike locally if they want a bright future rather than focussing on assembly lines.

        Things are certainly bright for Hyosung fans. Who knows, they might come up with a new model or two.

          its good that hyosung india is growing and not shutting down.. good news for existing and future customers, it also indicates that hyosung bikes are selling well, contradictory to the general perception on xbhp.

                  400cr for an automobile plant, near Pune? , with an R&D centre ? with assy line?
                  These things are pretty expensive , unless they plan to open some wodden crates and assemble bikes on Service centre type lifts .
                  Recently our company got itself some land where built vehicles could be parked , and it costed north of 200cr.

                    You can park vehicles on land worth 2000cr also. It depends on location to location. There must be a lot villages around pune where one can easily get a piece of land in a reasonable price bracket. Dont forget that DSK's main business is not automobile sector, DSK is a real estate giant in Maharashtra.

                      Okie. May be the DSK group already has land , so that takes out major chunk of investment.

                          Now we're talking. I always wanted a GD250N but it is not getting launched yet. Probably waiting for ARAI test reports.
