Sales of 2-wheelers increased significantly in June 2022, with numerous models posting strong results. Very few businesses had negative growth this time, and the cause may largely be attributed to manufacturers’ dispatch problems.
All two-wheeler manufacturers, with the exception of Bajaj, showed a rise in two-wheeler sales in June, with a positive YoY gain of 20.6%. Sales in the segment are led by Hero MotoCorp, with Honda coming in second, TVS coming in third, and Royal Enfield, which had the second-highest YoY growth, coming in last, after Bajaj and Suzuki.
