In the month of April 2021, the Indian two-wheeler industry endured a cumulative domestic sales of 9,95,097 units as against 14,96,754 units during the previous month of March 2021 with a Month-on-Month volume decline of 33.5 per cent. Hero MotoCorp led the way ahead of Honda, TVS, Bajaj, Suzuki, Royal Enfield and Yamaha.
In the top 10 sales table for motorcycles, the Splendor finished on top yet again with a tally of 1,93,508 units as against 2,80,090 units during the previous month of March 2021 with an MoM de-growth close to 31 per cent. The CB Shine finished in the second position and held the flags up high for Honda with 79,416 unit sales as against 1,17,943 units.
This led to a volume decline of 32.6 per cent. All the motorcycles in the top ten endured negative sales growth and it was understandable considering the resurgence of the second wave of health crisis leading to a massive plunge in social and economic activities across the country. The HF Deluxe ended up in the third position with 71,294 units.
