TVS Motor sales down by 15% in February
TVS Motor Company on Monday reported 15.39 per cent decline in total sales at 2,53,261 units in February on account of BS 4 reduction and impact of parts supply disruption due to coronavirus outbreak.
The company had sold 2,99,353 units in February 2019, TVS Motor Co said in a statement.
"As planned, the company is on track to reducing dealer level BS 4 stock in the domestic market and is confident of retailing it this month," it said.
In addition, the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) impacted supply of certain components for production of BS 6 vehicles. All efforts are on to normalise this at the earliest, the company said.
