'''Andhra Pradesh Scooters Limited (APSL)''' was a [[Scooter (motorcycle)|scooter]] manufacturer founded in 1974 and operated until 1986 in the Indian state of [[Andhra Pradesh]]. It was owned by the [[Government of Andhra Pradesh]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.zaubacorp.com/company/ANDHRA-PRADESH-SCOOTERS-LIMITED/U34102TG1974PLC001773|title=ANDHRA PRADESH SCOOTERS LIMITED - Company, directors and contact details - Zauba Corp|website=www.zaubacorp.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://companydata.in/andhra-pradesh-scooters-limited/416519.py|title=ANDHRA PRADESH SCOOTERS LIMITED - Company Data|website=companydata.in}}</ref>

==Alwyn Puspak==
APSL started production of the [[Allywn Puspak]] scooter, with technical knowhow from [[Scooters India]], another public sector undertaking from the state of Uttar Pradesh which manufactured Vijay Super scooters, originally a [[Lambretta GP/DL|Lambretta GP]] under license from [[Innocenti]] of Italy. This Puspak model was very similar to the Vijay Super except for some changes in the front mud guard and other small panels and with few changes in the mechanicals. Sales were sluggish and production facilities were underutilized.

==Vespa PL170==
In the early 1980s APSL entered into a collaboration agreement with [[Piaggio]], Italy, to manufacture a smaller range of [[Vespa]] scooters of 100cc, 80cc and mopeds. The European model Vespa 100 was chosen, rebranded as Vespa PL170, launched in 1983, and was in production until 1986.

However both the models failed to sell in high numbers and the company was declared sick and was referred to [[BIFR]] which eventually liquidated the assets after finding no takers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.business-standard.com/company/andhra-pradesh-scooters-ltd-liquidated-2/information/company-history|title=Andhra Pradesh Scooters Ltd (liquidated).|publisher=|via=Business Standard}}</ref>
