Mahindra Two-Wheelers Ltd. (MTWL) has partnered exclusively with Paytm to enable people to buy its vehicles online. Under this new partnership, the company will e-retail its Centuro motorcycles and Rodeo UZO range of scooters on the Paytm marketplace.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI), which had earlier announced its plans to launch a mix of 10 refreshed and all new products in 2015, today unleashed a new business blitz for the financial year 2015 - 16. Instead of 10, the company will now bring-in 15 new models in 2015.
