India Yamaha Motor has announced 22% growth in domestic sales (including Nepal) in October 2016.

The company sold a total of 86,428 units (October 2015: 70,812 units). India Yamaha attributes the sales increase to its expansive line-up coupled with customer-centric activities. Its sharper focus on expanding to Tier 2 and 3 cities, helping it to reach out to larger groups of its target population, has also been instrumental in boosting sales.
