Looking for fuel-efficient bikes in India? Here are top 4 models under ₹1 lakh
In a highly cost-sensitive market like India, whenever a consumer buys a motorcycle or a scooter, which are large ticket products, several factors play their respective roles. One of the key factors is the fuel efficiency of the two-wheeler, which is directly connected with the overall cost of ownership for the product. The Indian market has usually been known as dominated by commuter motorcycles positioned in the 100-110 cc segment. However, over the last few years, consumer preferences have been changing drastically, especially fuelled by the young generation of buyers who seek more performance, more premium quotient, and more technology-aided features.
While the evolution in consumer preferences has changed the Indian two-wheeler market's situation drastically over the last two decades, a large number of buyers still like to walk the old-fashioned way. They seek cost-effectiveness and by aiming that, fuel efficiency plays a key role whenever someone plans to buy a bike.
