Highest Selling Two-Wheelers In India In FY2020-21

2020 was an unprecedented year for the Indian automotive industry. The year saw all sorts of ups and downs and faced several challenges, including a whole month of absolutely no sales (April 2020). As and when the lockdown eased, few two-wheelers did well to rake in decent numbers for the company. Companies like Hero MotoCorp, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, TVS Motor Company and Bajaj Auto began selling their popular models in decent numbers, owing to the demand for personal mobility during the pandemic. And here's a list of the highest-selling two-wheelers in the financial year 2020-21. Take a look!
