10-15%. The newly launched motorcycle chain from Makino RK will provide the
2-wheeler automobile companies the desired mileage and best-in-class service.

scope in India and is set to witness a boom from 19.9 million in FY17 to close
to 34 million by FY20. Hence, it fairly makes sense to leverage the best out of
this sector and apply our incomparable technological expertise to offer world

companies but will also be competitive in nature as it promises unparalleled
biking experience in the Indian market.”
