Like all other manufacturers, Bajaj Auto had a forgettable month in April 2020. For the first time, the company did not sell any two-wheelers or commercial vehicles in India in a month. Of course, this was an expected repercussion of the coronavirus lockdown implemented by the government. However, it must be pointed out that the company exported 32,009 two-wheelers in April 2020 which is a drop of 80 per cent over the 160,393 units exported in April 2019. Similarly, the company also exported 5,869 CV units, which is a drop of 81 per cent over the 30,818 units exported in April last year.
