Bajaj Pulsar posts positive YoY growth

Pulsar is the only exception in the top fifteen, as it has registered positive YoY growth in H1 FY2020. A total of 4,16,735 units were sold, as compared to 3,91,508 units in H1 last year. This is YoY gain of 6.44%. Pulsar range has several popular bikes such as Pulsar 125, 150, NS160, 180F, 220F, NS200 and RS200.

At number five is Honda CB Shine with 3,69,103 units sold in H1 FY2020. This is YoY de-growth of -30.38%, as compared to 5,30,141 units sold in H1 last year. Other two-wheelers in top ten are TVS XL (2,51,166 units), Hero Glamour (2,42,909), Hero Passion (2,13,480), TVS Jupiter (2,03,899), and Bajaj Platina (1,75,986).

All these reds may paint a bleak picture, but it shouldn’t be a major concern for two-wheeler manufacturers. That’s because two-wheeler sales have been increasing since July and have registered positive YoY growth in September. Two-wheeler sales are expected to improve further in October and November during the peak festive season. By March 2021, it is expected that the two-wheeler segment would have recovered most of the losses arising from the lockdown.
