If you’re an adventure-bike fan, here’s some exciting news — BMW has officially started production of the new BMW F 450 GS at TVS Motor Company’s Hosur plant in India. This is a big moment for the BMW–TVS partnership, which has already delivered popular models like the G 310 R, G 310 GS and G 310 RR over the years.
With the F 450 GS rolling out of Hosur, BMW is clearly preparing this bike to become its next accessible adventure motorcycle — offering the premium GS feel at a price that’s easier for Indian buyers to consider.

TVS Hosur Plant Production
The TVS Hosur plant in Tamil Nadu has been a major global hub for BMW Motorrad since their partnership began in 2013. This facility has already produced lakhs of units of the BMW 310 series, exported to 100+ countries.
In November 2025, the plant officially started building the BMW F 450 GS, showing that Hosur is now ready to handle larger, more advanced motorcycles — not just entry-level models. This move underlines BMW’s trust in India as a production base and helps keep prices competitive for Indian riders.
