India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd today reported 40.14 per cent increase in domestic two-wheeler sales at 47,680 units last month.
It had sold 34,021 units in May 2013, Yamaha Motor India said in a statement.
The company last month exported 19,440 units as compared to 15,356 units sold in May last year, up 26.6 per cent.
India Yamaha Motor Pvt Ltd Sales Vice-President (Sales & Marketing) Roy Kurian said, “This has been a good month for us as we witnessed brisk growth due to our excellent product line-up and innovative customer-centric activities”
He said the new scooter Alpha, launched at the Auto Expo this year, has been a major growth driver.
“We seek to sell 200,000 units of Alpha alone, along with 1,00,000 units of Ray and Ray Z combined, thereby constituting almost 50 per cent of our total sales in 2014,” he added.
Sounding bullish about better performance going forward, Kurian said, “We expect to witness more rapid double-digit growth in the two-wheeler segment based upon policies of the new Government and the improved buying sentiment of customers.”
