Suzuki Two Wheelers posted 27.30 percent YoY de-growth in domestic sales while exports increased 167.77 percent in December 2021
Every leading two wheeler manufacturer in India has posted YoY de-growth in December 2021. These included Hero, Honda, TVS, Bajaj and Suzuki along with Enfield and Yamaha. Each of these companies posted double digit de-growth. However, it may be noted that this was not the case with electric two wheeler makers that saw a spurt in demand.
Electric two wheeler sales are on the rise primarily due to a regular increase in prices of two wheelers along with escalating fuel prices. Electric vehicles also have the advantage of various Government of India subsidies while an easier access to charging stations has also contributed to its growth.
