Bajaj: -1.38%
Bajaj Auto exports on average around 10,000 two-wheelers and three-wheelers to Sri Lanka, but a sharp rise in import duties by its government in April has hit shipments to the island nation.
The company is banking on its recent new launches like the Discover ST and Pulsar 200NS motorcycles to boost sales this year. Bajaj Auto sold around 5,000 units of the Discover ST and Pulsar 200NS put together last month, the first full month since the products were launched. It hopes to ship 15,000 units of the two in July, Rajiv Bajaj told CNBC-TV18.

TVS: -8%
NEW DELHI: TVS Motor Company slipped nearly 3 percent in a flat market on Monday after the company saw sales dip by 8 percent YoY in June 2012.

Well, TVS' stocks are going down too, and Bajaj may hike prices soon. Seeing Bajaj's negative growth is a shocker too, and makes us think: Despite Discover 100, 100 4 Gears, etc, why are the sales lesser? Its hard to pinpoint an exact reason, but again the decline is hardly 1% which is quite reversible, in the eye of new releases.
Obviously, people are waiting to get their P200 NS, plus the 125ST is also making an impression.
Hero's sales are saturating but the annual growth is still there, which is a very good news at this point. Even Rajiv Bajaj admits that this quarter was depressing. Let's hope the festive seasons ahead brings good news for the Auto industry... It should, most probably.
