Two wheeler sales recovery
A glimpse at the two-wheeler market, especially current motorcycle sales are in no way indicative of the stilled and gloomy start to FY21. So, it’s no surprise that must manufacturers would be chuffed to bits at the way business has picked it once retail activity started and logistics and supply systems were sorted.
Demand isn’t unprecedented but seeing it altogether has brought a glimmer of hope to an otherwise lacklustre year devoid of activity through a long stretch. In living memory, no-one recalls a totally industrywide shutdown. Because it’s never happened before. These have been trying times, and October 2020 sales brings cheer.
