India Yamaha Motor plans to set up its third plant in the country, for which it has started scouting for land in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The company, which plans to invest Rs 800 crore in the next two years, on capacity enhancement, said it expects to sell around 10 lakh units by 2014. Hiroyuki Suzuki from India Yamaha Motor was quoted as saying "Setting up a third plant is under consideration. We are already looking for land in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu." He said the investment for the new plant is yet to finalise and would depend on the capacity of the facility. The firm plans to start operation of the new plant by 2014 when the company's sales in India are expected to go up to 10 lakh units from 3.3 lakh unit in 2011. At present, Yamaha has two plants each in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. The company had produced 5.2 lakh units in 2011 out of which 1.9 lakh units are exported. In the current year, the company hopes to clock 4.5 lakh unit sales and 6.5 lakh units next year in India.
