Motorcycle sales grew 5% to 282,433 units over the same period but commercial vehicles sales fell 7% to 47,798 units.

Meanwhile, on back of new model launches including a new Cruiser bike in the current quarter and a new Discover model later this year, Bajaj hopes to bolster its domestic volumes.
It expects a 4% year-on-year growth in domestic two-wheeler sales in the current fiscal, but hopes to grow faster than the industry at 14%, said Dsa.
