BMW G310R and G310GS Discontinued in India After Eight Years on the Market

BMW’s entry-level G310R and G310GS models exit the Indian market for failing to meet new emission standards. The TVS partnership may lead to new twin-cylinder models.

BMW Motorrad has officially removed its entry-level single-cylinder motorcycles — the G310R (naked sport) and G310GS (adventure) — from its Indian lineup, marking the end of an eight-year chapter in the country. Developed in partnership with Indian manufacturer TVS Motor Company, these models helped introduce the German brand to a more accessible price point and increase volume in emerging markets.

Launched in 2018, the motorcycles were manufactured in India by TVS and sold globally. They gained a reputation for good build quality and reliability — though they were considered expensive for their segment.

Emission norms bring the line to an end

The decision to end production was driven by the implementation of the new BS6 OBD2B emission norms, which took effect for all vehicles sold from April 1, 2025. Production of the G310R and G310GS ceased in January, and sales officially stopped in early April.

Despite their unique appeal, the G310R and G310GS never achieved major sales success in India, facing stiff competition and losing market share to more feature-rich and cost-effective rivals.

Bright future with a twin-cylinder engine?

Interestingly, the G310 RR — a sport model visually inspired by the TVS Apache RR 310 — is still available for sale. BMW Motorrad has not yet confirmed whether this version will remain on the market or face discontinuation like its siblings.

The future of BMW Motorrad in India now seems to point toward a new phase: a fresh lineup of motorcycles co-developed with TVS based on a new 450cc twin-cylinder platform. A concept model — the BMW F 450 GS ADV — has already been unveiled, featuring a new design language and engine, signaling the arrival of a new generation of entry-level premium bikes.
