Yamaha's India Bike Sales Rise 26.4 Percent

Emerging Markets Economy, Oct 8, 2003

Yamaha Motor India said its motorcycle sales rose by 26.4 percent in September 2003 to 36,980 units from 29,255 units sold a year earlier.

The September sales were also higher by 64.6 percent as compared to 22,464 units sold in August this year, a company release said. Yamaha Motor attributed the growth in sales to higher demand for two recently launched variants of its 'Libero' and 'Enticer' motorcycles.

The company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan's Yamaha Motor Corporation, said it has improved its market share to 10 per cent in September from six percent in the previous month. - (EMEconomy.com)
