In capitalising on market sentiment, Yamaha has made available finance schemes for its new 125 cc FI scooters in specific markets. This is clubbed with the premise of low down payment options.

Quarterly Sales Performance
While FY21/Q3 2020 quarter sales has been something to write home about, decline reported in the quarter prior would add a burden of sales contraction to total yearly sales. For January to September 2020, Yamaha has sold 3,51,994 units, down at 30.7 percent from 5,08,344 units sold in the first three quarters of 2020.
For Q3 2020, sales grew to 1,73,546 units, up 12.44 percent from 1,54,351 units at volume gain of 19,195. This is in account of low base sales for the period in question. With no recovery at the end of FY20 when the country went into complete lockdown, Q1 FY21/Q2 2020 sales contraction leaves a lasting impact.
With this, sales focus on Q3 and Q4 2020 are a priority. Yamaha India has triumphed in Q3, and expects overall demand to grow during the festival seasons, all the way through to Christmas, meaning October to December quarter would be one of heightened activity. Despite current growth, company sales for 2020 is expected to be the lowest in a decade.

At the end of 2019, Yamaha had an overall market share of 3.5 percent, and its scooter market share was at about 5 percent. Last year exports stood at 2.94 lakh units, and in 2020 that number was projected to rise to 3.15 lakh units. At the end of the current quarter, it will be clear how much ground Yamaha India has lost on its projections.
