Commenting on the sales performance, Devashish Handa, Vice President, Suzuki Motorcycle India said, "Suzuki's growth curve has continued into the month of October as well. The ongoing festive season has saw us achieve a 3 per cent year-on-year growth for the month. We have surpassed our Sales Volume of last October. This is quite significant since in 2019, the predominant Festive Season from Navratri to Diwali was concentrated in the month of October unlike this year where it is spread over the latter half of October and going up to the earlier half of November. This makes us a little more optimistic about the demand recovery post pandemic.
