“Discounts have declined YoY – by up to 2 per cent of vehicle prices.”
Notably, the update expected domestic 2W volume performance should be mixed YoY.
“Volume performance in South, East and West regions has been better than the North region.”
“Retails have declined in the North region due to the weakness in entry-level segment and lower marriage season demand. Executive and premium motorcycles are doing better than entry-level motorcycles. In comparison, exports are expected to be strong across regions, except for the ASEAN market.”
In addition, the update pointed out that domestic CV volumes will be a mixed bag.
“MHCV demand has been improving on strong Tipper or ICV demand and a gradual recovery in replacement demand as well.”
