Two-Wheeler Sales Report – August 2020 | Hero Moto Corp Leads the Way!

While the economy takes a toll due to the global pandemic, every industry in India has begun reviving itself. Although the Delhi Metro services have been restored from today, people are preferring the use of personal transport over public transport. Therefore, the automotive industry in India has seen a rise in the sale numbers. The lockdown has eased but people are very careful with their money considering the situation. The growing need for personal mobility has led the two-wheeler market to experience a boom too. Let’s have a look at the two-wheeler sales report in August 2020.

P.S. the rankings in the list are according to the cumulative units sold domestically and those exported overseas.

1. Hero Moto Corp
   

   

   HMC has registered the maximum sales of two-wheelers in India for the month of August 2020. With a sale of 5,68,674 units, Hero Moto Corp has shown a great YoY growth (number of units sold in August 2019 vs the number of units sold in August 2020). Hero Moto Corp said that they are experiencing increasing demands from the rural and semi-urban areas due to which they have experienced an appreciable boost in sales. Also, the production capacity has been restored to nearly 100% and Hero plans to boost the sales further by opening each and every possible customer touchpoint.

2. Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India
