Commenting on the sales performance, India Yamaha Motor National Business Head Roy Kurian said: “The festive season did play a role in changing the market sentiment, however, due to the current economic conditions and rise in inflation, the festival season has been weak compared to last year.”
He attributed the rise in sales growth to “...strong product portfolio, upbeat customer confidence and new launch in the scooter segment with RAY”.
Mr. Kurian said the company has been reaching out to customers through various initiatives like Yamaha Safe Riding Science Programs and R15 One Make Race Championships in order to push sales.
