Bajaj recorded a growth of 22% in Motorcycles, growing
faster than the industry growth rate of about 15%.
|
|
3 wheelers recorded a growth of 30% compared with the
October 2005 figures.
|
|
Exports recorded a healthy 77% growth over October 2005
levels.
|
|
Motorcycle domestic retail sale (sale from Dealer to
Customers) is estimated close to 3.5 lakh units, about
100,000 units more than Company’s Billing to Dealers
(included in the data tables). Billing was lower due to
production constraints owing to Diwali Holidays.
|
|
Based on outstanding high demand for Platina, Discover and
Pulsar range of products, we expect buoyant sales in
November and December.
|
|
With success of the up-graded Mega and strong exports,
3-wheelers are expected to sustain good volumes currently
achieved.
|
|
Bajaj is on its way to record its highest ever quarterly
volumes in its history during the October – December
quarter.
