Like other two-wheeler manufacturers, Yamaha Motor India is slowly making its way towards the ‘new normal’ with its dealerships restarting operations in certain states of India. The company has a list of states and cities in which Yamaha dealerships have begun operations after the government relaxed rules and regulations for businesses in Orange and Green zones depending on COVID-19 spread. The company will be opening its dealerships in a phased manner and in compliance with lockdown 4.0 regulations. Plus, Yamaha insists on customers making a prior appointment with dealerships so as to maintain social distancing and hygiene guidelines issued by the government.
