TVS motorcycle sales up 28% in July

New Delhi, Aug 1 (UNI) Country's third-largest motorcycle maker TVS Motor Co today registered a 28 per cent increase in motorcycle sales at 68,335 units in July 2006, mainly on account of its TVS StaR model.

The company attributed the growth in motorcycle sales to the growing popularity of its 'Apache' and 'TVS StaR' brands across all markets, a statement said here.

TVS will continue to ramp up the production of Apache to meet the growing demand with the TVS StaR model crossing the cumulative 8,00,000 units mark, it said.
