December 2009, as compared to the same month in the preceding year.

M&M, which recently entered the two-wheeler market after the

takeover of Kinetic's two-wheeler business, is planning to launch its first

motorcycle in this calendar year. The company is also working on

increasing its installed capacity for two-wheelers in order to meet future

targets.

Yamaha is planning to launch its first scooter model by this calendar

year. The company has been aggressively focusing on Indian two-

wheeler market in order to achieve its targeted 10% market share in the

industry by FY12.

Bajaj Auto is targeting to achieve one million sales of its Pulsar brand for

FY11. This target has been on the back of encouraging initial customer

responses of its newly launched Pulsar 135 LS.

After Royal Enfield, Hero Honda and Bajaj, TVS Motor is planning to

enter greater than 200cc motorcycle segment.

Domestic sales of three-wheelers witnessed a strong 83.7% y-o-y

growth during December 2009. This growth was driven by strong rise in

domestic sales of passenger carriers which grew by 91.8%, combined

with 56.3% growth in domestic sales of goods carriers.

Exports of three-wheelers observed a healthy increase of 10.8% on

y-o-y basis in December 2009.

Comment

The growth in the two-wheeler industry continues to remain strong during

this fiscal on the back of economic recovery and lower base affect. Even for

the next fiscal, the industry is expected to register healthy growth owning

to higher economic growth and array of new models which are expected to

be launched by almost all the key players in their bid to increase market

share.
