Two-wheeler registrations rise 12.9% in April to 1.92 million

“April’s two-wheeler numbers reflect a mature and predictable market. The marginal month-on-month decline is seasonal and expected. The year-on-year growth, on a higher base, is the real story and it remains firmly intact,” said Ravi Bhatia, president, JATO Dynamics India.
