  • LML launches new version of NV brand scooter

    Something good for scooter lovers...
    ------
    NEW DELHI: The beleaguered two wheeler company LML has launched its second geared scooter in the domestic market, on the back of a revival of

    demand in domestic scooter market. LML has introduced a 4-stroke version of its NV brand of scooters in select market of Delhi and Ghaziabad.

    Available in two variants, LML claims the 150 cc scooter delivers a fuel efficiency of 55 km/litre. It is available at an ex-showroom price of Rs 39,897 for the base version and Rs 40,800 for the deluxe variant in Delhi.

    Kanpur-based LML re-entered the domestic market with its Vespa brand of geared scooters in April 2007 after an 18-month hiatus when it had to stop production due to fund crunch and labour problems.

    LML currently has a limited presence in the domestic market and sells 1,500 units of its two-stroke scooter under the Vespa brand in Delhi, parts of Punjab and Haryana, every month. Operating under the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR), it is looking to expand its market to Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Assam.

    Bulk of its total production of 5,000 units per month are exported to Italy, UK, France, Nigeria, Sudan, Japan, Australia, South Korea and Egypt, under the Stella brand. LML has an installed capacity of 300,000 scooters and 240,000 motorcycles. The company has totally stopped motorcycle production.

    The scooter market grew 9% to 11.45 lakh units last fiscal outperforming the two wheeler market which posted a marginally lower growth of 2.6% in the same period.

                  HMSI pulls the plug of India's only 4 stroke, geared scooter due (Eterno) to low sales.. LML springs back to life. Makes sense.

                  Couple of years back its 100 cc bike, the Freedom had almost done the trick for LML in terms of sales. Just that its 125 cc (Freedom Prima) and 150 cc models (Graptor, Beamer) never managed to recreate the Freedom magic. Personally, I liked the Comet like EST (Extruded Steel Frame) Frame on the Graptor, Beamers.

                  Wishing LML comes back strongly again. We need more desi bike makers.

                    Rightly Said, Freedom was the right bike at that time..But may be due to bad service support ...things dint went well for LML. Even their other bikes were top notch when compared to their counter parts at that time. Energy, Adreno, Beamer, Graptop etc etc...all were good bikes.

                    All the best LML...Love to see them back.

                      LML back from the dead! I hope we can expect some nice bikes in the near future.

                          Rajasthan Royals : i believe there is still a small market for these geared bikes. LML is selling them, though in small quantities. However, LML is also exporting the scooters to various countries (which is profitable). When they have the scooters, whats the harm in selling them in the domestic market?

                          My 2 cents!

                              Even i will buy a NV spl and wheelie all the rather than buying a gearless 2 wheeler, what is wrong with you Mr. Rajasthan Royal, its a good thing that LML is coming back into the scene, consumers are going to have more choice when it comes to scooters, after riding geared chetaks and vespas, i simply cant ride gearless scooters
