Sales Figures News

Four of the top 5 bikes sold in the financial year 2016-17 are from Hero MotoCorp. Honda's best-selling 125 cc motorcycle, the Honda CB Shine, occupies fourth place in the list of best-selling bikes

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India achieved record sales for a single month, selling over 5.7 lakh motorcycles and scooters in April 2017. Honda scooters made up for over 3.5 lakh unit sales.

Royal Enfield sales for a single month crossed 60,000 bikes, with the company selling 60,142 motorcycles in April 2017. Sales are led largely by the Royal Enfield 350 models. Sales of Royal Enfield bikes above 350 cc however, declined in April 2017

The overall sales numbers of Piaggio arent significant, considering the massive volumes of scooters sold in India. What is pertinent is that no other scooter manufacturer has any models in the 150 cc space, and this is where Piaggio has grown a whopping 460 per cent in just one year

In March 2017 alone, Yamaha grew by 27 per cent, selling 76,144 units. In the entire financial year (April 2016-March 2017), Yamaha sold over 7.8 lakh two-wheelers, with scooter sales accounting for 56 per cent of those numbers

The story is more or less same in India as the premium motorcycle industry experienced a slowdown in FY 2017. In the period from April 2016 - March 2017, Harley-Davidson India sales fell by over 20 per cent, even though the brand managed to sell 3,690 motorcycles, over 2,000 of those numbers from the best-selling Harley-Davidson Street 750

Here is a look at the sales in the Indian automotive industry for the month of March, 2017.

Maruti Suzuki Baleno became the second bestselling model in March 2017 with 16,426 units sold - just 2,442 units short of the country's top-selling car - Maruti Suzuki Alto.
