India Yamaha Motor (IYM) is shaking things up with a strategic restructuring to boost efficiency, governance, and innovation for the long haul. This move streamlines Yamaha Motor India‘s four entities into two lean powerhouses, setting the stage for faster growth in the premium motorcycle and mobility solutions space.
Currently split across India Yamaha Motor (IYM), Yamaha Motor India Sales (YMIS), Yamaha Motor Research & Development India (YMRI), and Yamaha Motor India (YMI), Yamaha’s streamlining YMIS and YMI into IYM — unifying sales, marketing, finance, admin, and manufacturing under one roof. YMRI stays independent as the dedicated R&D innovation hub, collaborating tight with IYM on cutting-edge engineering.
