The company sold 30,594 two wheelers in the last month, while they had sold 25,717 units in March 2013.

The manufacturer also unveiled the new 150cc motorcycle- Gixxer and another scooter named Let's. These two wheelers will be launched in the coming months.

The two-wheeler manufacturer had revealed plans of ramping up the production. Apart from this strategy, Suzuki extended its dealer network not just in urban areas but also in rural regions of our country. Presently, Suzuki has 400 dealers in cities and about 200 dealerships in rural areas. The manufacturer plans to add 300 more in rural regions by 2015.
