Kolkata, Feb 13:Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL), the two-wheeler subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, today announced its participation in India’s largest anime convention – Anime Fest 2026 to be held on 14th & 15th February 2026 at Biswa Bangla Mela Prangan, WBTPO, Park Circus, Kolkata.
