New bikes in India - Hero motorcycle models available in Ahmedabad

Buyers have always had a passion for motorbikes and it is indeed the best transport in an overpopulated country like India. Travelling by bikes in India has its own charm and the person can easily cross huge traffics in comparison to automobiles hence motorbike is considered to be the fastest mode of transport.  In metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi where there are other means of transport like the local railways, bus services and metros, the fun of owning a new bike in India is still invaluable when it comes to endless traffic jams and narrow street lanes. 

Bikes in India have been able to attract a wide segment of buyers including the financially middle class to the lower-middle class families. On the other hand owning a bike is a necessity for people staying in small towns and cities in India, where there are no facilities of local railways or bus services and metros. In remote villages it has been seen that the bikes are used not only as a means for humans to travel but also for goods. Even otherwise in cities too, an entire family tries to accommodate and enjoy themselves onto the bike!

As per ICRA research services report, bikes industry in India has been the largest in terms of volumes and it has shown a positive growth from 2011 till 2014. The total volume of scooters sold increased by 9% in the last five years with the statistics of 15% in 2008-2009 to 24% in 2013-14. At the same time the domestic motorcycle volumes have also increased by a 10% YoY i.e. Year over year and a robust 30% as per 5m 2014-2015. The ever increasing demand of the scooter and motorcycles has encouraged the Original Equipment Manufacturers to launch new models. 

As per statistics scooter is used by both the males and females and hence it has more demand. Overall, as per the research the domestic motorcycle segment is expected to grow in the coming years and it would in turn also depend on the pace of India’s economic growth which will further enable to low segment population to grow to next higher level of income and penetrate in the purchase of the bikes.
