The renowned Polaris Industries, which is also the owner of Indian Motorcycles is bringing most of its motorcycles in the country via Completely Built Unit (CBU) route. Currently, the company imports products from its only plant situated in Minnesota, United States. The motorcycles above 800cc attract an import duty of 75 percent and since all models of Indian motorcycles fall under this category, it will bring a steep downfall in the prices which will eventually help in digging its roots well in the Indian Automotive market.
