The company is consciously reducing the stock of motorcycles in trade, even as it witnessed a 4% increase in motorcycle sales over last month.

The company will also enter the three wheeler market, having already rolled out three variants Petrol, LPG and CNG in the two stroke version. Four stroke three wheelers are also expected to be launched in the coming months. The company hopes to capitalize on growth of the three wheeler market, which has witnessed a 21% compounded annual growth rate in the last
