Pawah brings excellent preconditions to navigate BMW Group India in a challenging business situation due the ongoing corona pandemic. We are confident that his strategic thinking, hands-on approach and ability to drive people will navigate the organisation in these turbulent times.” BMW Motorrad India had launched the F900 R and F900 XR at prices of Rs 9.90 Lakhs and 10.50 Lakhs (Both the prices are Ex.
