The new centre becomes Yamaha's second integrated development centre after Thailand, and their fifth R&D wing outside Japan, after Italy, Taiwan, China and Thailand. Yet another Yamaha R&D centre is to spring up in Chennai also, where this Japanese giant will focus on making low-cost scooters and other India specific models, today developed for us in Japan.

Expect Yamaha's Indian motorcycle and scooter prices to drop in future, given that development costs for new bikes and scooters in India is approximately half that of similar development in Japan.
