Two Wheeler Sales Feb 2020 – Hero, Honda, TVS, Bajaj, Royal Enfield, Suzuki, Yamaha

The two-wheeler sales report of February 2020 sees a drop of almost 20% compared to February 2019

The sales report of major two-wheeler brands for the month of February 2020 has been shared. The industry saw a total sales figure of 12,94,791 units last month compared to 16,14,981 units back in February 2019. In other words, overall two-wheeler sales have dropped by 19.8% or 3,20,190 units. The rather abrupt change to BS6 emission standards was one of the reasons for the massive sales dip. In the past few months, major OEMs operating in the country have been busy updating their products to BS6 specifications in the form of either facelifts or entirely-new models.

Starting with the market leader, Hero MotoCorp registered 4,80,196 units in February 2020 despite facing a fall of about 20% compared to the same month, last year. Honda Motorcycle India comes second on the list with 3,15,285 units of sales last month, which is 22.8% less than that of February 2019. TVS Motor showcased a higher sales drop of 26.7% at 1,69,684 units in February 2020 as opposed to 2,31,582 units in February 2019.
