Over the last few months, Anand Mahindra has been dropping hints on the debut of this legendary brand on social media sites, without revealing major information about the upcoming products.
According to media reports, the production of Jawa motorcycles is likely to begin this month at the company’s Pithampur plant.
In 2016, Financial Express reported that Mahindra’s subsidiary, Classic Legends Private Limited (CIPL), signed a brand licensing agreement with Jawa. The agreement allows the company to sell Jawa bikes in specific Asian markets, including India.
No specifications of the Jawa bike coming to India have been revealed yet. However, media reports suggest the bike will have a 300cc engine that currently powers the Mojo.
The brand will try to build on its retro image and will take on Royal Enfield, its original rival in the 80s.
