enter greater than 200cc motorcycle segment.
Domestic sales of three-wheelers witnessed a strong 83.7% y-o-y

the next fiscal, the industry is expected to register healthy growth owning
to higher economic growth and array of new models which are expected to
be launched by almost all the key players in their bid to increase market
share.
