When TVS purchased Norton Motorcycles, I had hopes for some of Norton's products to makes it to the Indian market. Still nothing on that yet. Even if they do make it to India, it will probably be very expensive as Norton's manufacturing will be done in the UK. I hope Bajaj does a better job with KTM.
Ironically the only real innovator in the Indian 2-wheeler market in the last decade has been RE.

products by 3 more companies approved under the PLI scheme for auto sector.
Again, I'm not getting the notification when you mention me for some reason.
It's true what you said, though I did hear recently that Norton-branded motorcycles in smaller displacements (400-650cc I would assume, to compete with RE) are in the works. These will in all probability be made in India by TVS.
Larger UK-made Nortons are now confirmed to be launching in India this year:

New Norton bikes to launch in India by end of 2025. Tap for more.
Govt need to work on this to diversify the supply chain as well as to develop a supply chain at home. Atleast we need to build more refineries/processing plants.
Incentives like subsidies, relaxed norms, etc should also be given to some private players.
This shows how vulnerable EV industry is to external factors. Government needs to be cautious while pushing for EVs. Entire industry could even move to China if they see no possibility of any solution. Hitachi magnet production unit literally moved to China a few years back because of these issue.
