BAJAJ AUTO SAYS :
1.     
  Motor Cycles Sales in April,12  stand at 342,324, while the same was 322235 in April,11, a growth of 6% - Highest ever sales in Any April for Motor Cycles.
2.       Commercial Vehicles 39266 ( 45074) Nos – a reduction of -135.
3.       Exports of the above : 169010 (against 158422 in April,11) – Highest ever Exports.

However, Competition in 2 wheeler market is heating up – with Honda and Suzauki wanting to aggressively tap rural Markets. Honda has snatched impressive sales already in Scooters market, which was ( unnecessarily) left out by Bajaj Auto. Honda now wants to dominate the whole 2 wheeler segment.

Both Hero and Bajaj need to brace up for the competition with superior technology. Innovate or perish – is the only mantra for survival in such competitive Markets.
