According to Thakur, Avan Motors will touch sales of over 1,000 units per month in the next two months. He said the company has an in-house R&D team for product development and has collaborated with “global technology providers from the UK and Europe to focus on futuristic and innovative products".

Avan Motors has a manufacturing plant at Hinjewadi in Pune. Spread over 22,000 sq.ft, the unit has a production capacity of 36,000 per annum on single shift basis.

When asked if the company planned to have other plants, Thakur said:"As the market grows, we will come with minimum three more satellite plants across various regions."
