Talking of Bajaj, the CT 100 is missing in the top 10 sales of May 2017. The Honda Dio surprisingly makes an entry into the top 10 sales list for the first time in 6 years. Appealing more to the young population, Honda sold 41,303 Dios in May 2017.
Increasing traffic, more and more woman getting into the workforce, better infrastructure even in rural places has led to scooterisation in India, which makes scooters like the Honda Activa and TVS Jupiter more appealing to the masses.
