However, the company has no plans to shift the manufacturing of Norton motorcycles to India. According to media reports, TVS Motor Company will continue manufacturing Norton motorcycles in the UK. In addition, the company will retain the same design and assembly team, even though the British brand is still owned by TVS.

For your information, tell us tell you that TVS is now the exclusive owner of Norton Motorcycle and the headquarters of the British motorcycle brand will be shifted from Donington Hall to a new address in the same vicinity.
