Vigneshwar.Tractor retail sales stood at 1,00,818 units, a growth of 25.31% YoY and 21.33% MoM.“Tractors recorded their second-best June ever. That such records have come in a seasonally transitional month underscores the structural depth of the India growth story and the widening aspirations of Bharat,” he added.Two-wheeler retail sales stood at 18,28,458 units, up 21.22% YoY — the best June ever — though marginally lower by 0.89% month on month (MoM).The urban two-wheeler segment grew 4.25% MoM, while rural sales declined 4.55% MoM, reflecting the late onset and uneven progress of the south-west monsoon, which kept rain-fed markets in a wait-and-watch mode.Commercial vehicle retails were at 90,972 units, a 16.88% YoY growth and the best June on record for the segment.
