Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Director - Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India said, "May 2020 saw the wheels of business start turning slowly after the zero dispatch in the month of April'20. By now, a sizable 70 per cent of Honda dealerships have resumed their operations. With sufficient availability of six BS VI products at our network (3 scooter & 3 motorcycle models), our network was able to kick off initial sales momentum crossing over 1.15 lac retails in May'20. In the new Coronial Era, Honda dealerships are increasingly promoting digital contactless customer engagement. An early encouraging sign based on our survey is that close to 80 per cent of the intenders are looking forward to purchase their favourite Honda 2Wheeler within 3 months of the lockdown opening. Moreover, there is an increased propensity of the buyers preferring a two-wheeler over public transport for daily commuting, in this time of social distancing."
