Austria-based KTM Sportmotorcycle is planning to expand its manufacturing capacity in India from 30,000 to one lakh units by 2016.
KTM, which has a joint venture with Bajaj Auto, makes three motorcycles - Duke 125, Duke 200, and Duke 390 - at the Bajaj Auto Chakan plant in Pune.
The manufacturing capacity in Chakan is very low but the company is planning to expand its unit in the next three years.
The Austria-based company will launch the Husqvarna motorcycles in India in the next two years. KTM will use the Chakan plant to roll out the bike.
By 2014 end, KTM expects to sell five-six different models in India, and plans to launch the RC 390 next year and the Duke 690 by 2015.
