Yamaha Blue Square: Progress so far
Exclusive for premium Yamaha products
The Blue Square concept was introduced in 2019, following the launch of Yamaha’s ‘The Call of the Blue’ brand campaign in 2018. The very first Blue Square showroom was opened in Nandhanam, Chennai. The company had reached 300 showrooms back in March, 2024, indicating that the number has doubled in the last two and a half years. Mumbai got its first Blue Square showroom all the way back in 2022.
According to Yamaha, the 600-outlet network represents expansion across regions while maintaining a common retail format. The company also uses the outlets for customer engagement activities, including the Blue Streaks community initiative. Yamaha Motor India Group of Companies chairman Hajime Aota said the expansion is part of the company’s premium retail strategy and is intended to bring its riders together through the Blue Square and Blue Streaks networks.
The expanding network supports Yamaha’s motorcycle and scooter portfolio in India, including the R-Series, MT-15, AEROX 155, FZ Series, Fascino 125 FI Hybrid and RayZR FI Hybrid range. The company also lists the EC-06 and Aerox E electric scooters, along with the FZ-Blue Flex Fuel (E85 compatible) vehicle.
Yamaha currently manufactures motorcycles and parts at plants in Surajpur, Uttar Pradesh and Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, for domestic and overseas markets. The company said the outlets function as community hubs in addition to their retail role, with spaces for customers to interact with the brand and other riders.
