sudden spurt in the motorcycle sales. However there was some deviation from
this trend during October 2001 when the scooter sales stated picking up due to
launch of new variants by Bajaj Auto Ltd., But on the whole the motorcycle
market continued to prop up domestic 2- Wheelers sales whereas scooters and
moped sales maintained their downward trend in fiscal 2004.The sales of
motorcycle segment remained buoyant in Dec 2001 and the major three players
have reported an average growth of 55% in their sales volumes. Bajaj Auto Ltd.
