I don’t think so. To answer 2LZ, the engine is made in India, as is the whole bike, using machinery made by BMW in Germany, and then shipped to India for assembly and production.
I waited over two years to see, touch and ride the G310 in California. When I finally did ride the bike I was really unimpressed with the ergonomics and the performance. The rider’s cockpit is very crowded and cramped, especially if you’re very big and tall. The engine vibrations and roughness is too much. The performance, lacking.

After my test riding, I stopped at another dealership and purchased a Honda CB500X. Much better of everything than the G310.
Your results may vary!
Good luck.

1CW, I test rode the G310R when it came out, and was similarly unimpressed.

I haven't ridden the 310GS, but have 4 friends that have purchased one. They like it.

A much better choice for me was the Honda CB500F that I am in the process of changing into a 500X.
