FINDINGS
The major findings during the data collection and analysis time can be summed up
as follows:
Interest rates are one of the prime reasons for the sharp fall in demand.
Difficulty in availing loans, rising defaults, tightening of loan recovery laws and
various other factors.
Increasing oil prices have deterred many lower middle class families from buying two
wheelers.
With the introduction of the Bharat-4 norms, it will be more challenging to meet these
stringent norms while simultaneously offering competitive prices.
