A new chapter opens in the resurgent Bengal. World’s third large automobile manufacturing company TVS along with Mahabharat of Uluberia, Howrah has taken the first steps . The flood has started towards the production of Motorbikes, where TVS is not just helping Mahabharat with technology but also has joined it as a partner. The credit for bringing TVS to Bengal goes to Prasun Moukhopadhyay a non-residential Indian, the head honcho of Universal Success. On Wednesday with a religious ceremony TVS has started this new journey. This new venture of TVS and Universal Success is going to give a new direction to the Industry and opportunity said TVS and NKID officials. Along with this, they are also planning to make an Auto hub and other ancillary industries in Uluberia. TVS and NKID officials also said that there is a possibility of manufacturing of four wheelers In future
During the left regime, Mahabharat factory at Birshibpur, Uluberia was built, but the production was very slow. After the formation of the new government under the leadership of Mamata Bandopadhayay, Uluberia Mahabharat has seen renewed vigor. Due to the efforts of Industrialist Prasun Mukhapadhayay ,TVS,one of the biggest automobile companies has agreed to invest directly in the State. The whole demerger process is on. On Wednesday from morning, 6 am to 10 pm Bhoomi Puja was performed in south Indian style.During the press conference TVS officials , who came from Hosur said that presently they are producing one thousand motorbikes, but they aim to manufacture three lacs motorbikes per year. They also said that in next five years they will invest Rs 300 to 400 crores. The vice president of the TVS Company Mr.S.G Murali said that the new state is encouraging industry that will ensure a bright future. NKID CEO Prasun Sengupta said that in next 2years there will be an auto hub and TVS retail park. In the mean time, 80 crores has already been invested .
In the year 2006, 15th February the then chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya had inaugurated the factory, but it took 4 and half years to start the production. In 2010 September, manufacturing started but it stopped abruptly. Though, Both Salim group and Universal success had joined hands with TVS for technical support but still the production was insignificant. With the change in the government and effort s of Prasun Mukhapadhyay of Universal success, TVS signed a new agreement. Bike Manufacturer TVS became one of the partners of Mahabharat Motors .with the help if TVS it will be easy for Mahabharat to capture eastern India. Significantly ,production of one bike in Mahabharat factory takes only 11 minutes to finish a marketable bike with ultramodern technology involving 28 workers.
65 acres of the factory is divided between TVS bike and Arjun auto, but for now, there would be no production of auto. Mahabharat Factory is right now serving as the store room for the incoming Arjun autos from Hosur, Tamilnadu. Future plans include use of 35 acres of land for auto hub and Retail Park. There are also plans for ancillary industry development. TVS official said that Bengal needs a success story , if that comes along with TVS; other industries will also follow . He also hoped that Mamata Bandhapadhayay would bring industrial revolution in Bengal.
