It’s an interesting time for motorcycle and scooter sales in India at the end of 2022. On one hand, November sales are down across multiple OEMs, when compared with October 2022 sales. On the other hand, those same November sales figures show growth as compared to year-on-year sales from each company. Also, in Royal Enfield’s case, the overall story of 2022 is still one of sales growth as compared to 2021.
Hero MotoCorp still leads the segment, reporting sales of 379,839 units in November, 2022. Numbers are relative, however—and even though a lot of OEMs would love to have sales figures like that, Hero also sold 442,825 bikes just one month earlier. So, from that OEM’s point of view, those November sales represent a 16.6 percent decrease, month-over-month.
