The XL100 was the most sold model within the range as 32,808 units were retailed against 70,710 units during the same period in 2019 with a massive decline of 54 per cent and the same trend continued for other models too.

The highly popular Apache series posted a total of 21,764 units in March 2020 as against 42,965 units during the same period in 2019 with a huge sales drop of 49 per cent.
