India Yamaha Motor has reported a 27 per cent increase in domestic sales at 76,144 units in March.

The company had sold 60,032 units in March 2016, India Yamaha Motor said in a statement today.

“March 2017 was challenging as automobile sector in India had to offload BS III inventory which was re-affirmed by Supreme Court’s decision towards the closing. Yamaha however, has managed it well and logged in a decent growth for this month,” Yamaha Motor India, Vice-President (Sales and Marketing), Roy Kurian, said.

The company is eyeing to achieve 1 million sales in 2017 as well, through exciting products and by expanding its trade networks, he added.
