Two-wheeler Sales Report: March 2021

It is the beginning of the financial year 2021-22 and we have received reports from the two-wheeler manufacturers regarding the sales figure in the previous month as well as the closing of the financial year; Read the details below

This time last year we were in the first phase of the pandemic and the nation-wide lockdown had us curb our savings and disposable income. Not to mention the confusion with the buyers revolving the transition from BS4 to BS6 norms. That said, the manufacturers had the first half of March 2020 at hand to build their sales number and the country was then put in a lockdown. In this span from April 1, 2020, manufacturers have adopted the new emission norms and have constantly updated their product line to attract potential buyers. Following are the sales figures of two-wheelers manufacturers that should give us an idea if things have worked for or against the industry.
