The production figures of motorcycles simply reflect the trend that is pRevalent in the industry, as the demand of motorcycles has increased so have their production. Demand for two-wheelers has grown at a rate of 17% in the year 2004/2005. Bajaj Auto which is the one of the largest producer of two-wheelers in the country has been able to achieve a production of 1.8 million vehicles with manpower of 10,914 in 2004/2005 as compared to 1.5 million vehicles in 2003/2004 with manpower of 11,531.

Though the metal geared scooters have fallen out of favour of the Indian riders, the ungeared segment of scooters have been able to drive the volumes in this segment. This fact is reflected in the dip in production during the early 2000. On a more positive note the ungeared segment of scooters have grown by over 13% in 2004/2005 thus driving the production in this segment. Bajaj Auto which has an overwhelming presence in this segment has produced 742,000 units during 2004/2005.

These entry level two-wheelers have seen a steady decline in the production in the recent years, though in the year 2005-2006 their production has picked up but its too early to predict a revival of this segment of two- wheelers. As entry level motorcycles become cheaper with every passing day mopeds might see a further dip in production and sales in the years to come.
