Ravikumar, Mature Vice-President, Business Development, said, “The new product releases and the activities taken during the one fourth will definitely have a positive effect. In Aug, we will send 30,000-35,000 designs of the Discover 125 ST and the Pulsar 200 NS motorbikes — the all-new great value, high-margin designs — and the second one fourth will see the benefit of these.

Along with our supplier, we started actions such as rationalising expenses and expect to trade 7,000-7,500 three-wheelers from Aug forward. Also, with governmental unrest in The red sea, there was a lull in exports. From Aug we will come back with exports of about 5,000-6,000 three-wheelers monthly to The red sea.”
