Triumph Motorcycles started operations in India in 2014 and boasts of more than 4,000 owners till date. Triumph has an assembly facility in Manesar, Haryana, and many of the models sold in India are assembled from completely knocked down (CKD) kits, brought in from Triumph's manufacturing unit in Thailand. Within the next couple of years, Triumph intends to increase assembly of more than 90 per cent of the models currently on sale in India. While maintaining stringent quality control of the bikes, the CKD route through Thailand also means Triumph has been able to price its India-assembled bikes very competitively. Triumph's latest model in India is the new Street Scrambler, which extends the Triumph modern classic range with purposeful adventure capability.
