Thoughts On Keeway's Entry Into India

Hungarian marque Keeway has entered India with a 3 vehicle lineup that promises to disrupt the Indian two-wheeler market. If Keeway manages to keep prices reasonable and with 5 more vehicles on the way, we find absolutely no reason why the Hungarian marque couldn't become a runaway success in India.
