Commenting on the performance,
Sajeev Rajasekhran, EVP, Sales and Marketing, SMIPL said, “While December is
typically a lean-month for two-wheelers, we are thrilled to have been able to
record a year-on-year growth of 50% during this month as well. With over 4 lakh
sales completed in this financial year already, we are well-poised to achieve
our annual target of 5 lakh sales annually. For Suzuki Motorcycle India, 2017
has been a special year. Not only have we enjoyed a stellar growth in terms of
sales, but also as a brand we have grown in leaps and bounds. However, we do
realize that this is just the beginning. 2018 promises to be even bigger and
better with exciting products, announcements and partnerships in the offing.
The onus is now on us to ride this momentum into the next-year as well.”
