Sales Report: July 2015.
Sales Report: July 2015.
A decline in interest rates, fuel costs, low base and pick-up in consumer sentiment helped the Indian automobile manufacturers report generally healthy sales figures for the last month. However, this had a mixed response on the 2 wheelers in general.
Royal Enfield have nothing to worry. Their Limited Dispatch series of motorcycles sold houseful in record times, and even otherwise, the waiting periods are in months. RE are showing continuous sales growth. And growth aside, in the Quarter-2 of 2015, RE's standalone net profit rose 37.8 percent to Rs 183.6 crore, up from Rs 133.2 crore in 2014 Q2. The income from operations too went up 47 percent to Rs 1,097 crore.
TVS struggles to find consistent growth with the absence of new launches since last year, except for TVS Jupiter which is doing reasonably well in its segment.
On the flip side, Suzuki is doing well with its new bikes such as Gixxer, Gixxer SF, etc. Plus, the sales of Access and Swish continue to be a reasonable contribution towards this growth. Suzuki's Ex-VP is very optimistic about the upcoming festive season too.
Hero's sales stagnancy continues, more or less as it has likely hit a ceiling already. Known for regular 5 Lac+ figures and also a record 6 Lac in a month in a previous year, Hero now surprises(shocks?) us with a 4.xx Lac sales figure, that too at this time of the year. Its still the best seller out there though, but we hope the decline is not a sign of the group's future...
Has Honda hit its peak too? Most possibly not. We just saw minor variations of Activa and Aviator recently. And on August, we're going to have some new launches worth checking out, which will make their own contribution to Honda's growth.
So, there we go. The regular excel-created sales charts are as under:
Now, we have data for all manufacturers and it seems Hero is the only one to lose share. So, Rajiv Bajaj was right in an interview, when he answered a question saying that its Hero who's lsoing the share if others are gaining.
