Suzuki aims at hitting 7.5 lakh units in production and sales in three years with a mix of 35% motorcycles and 65% scooters. The current mix is 80:20, in the favour of scooters. As of date, SMIL has 12% market share in the scooter segment and sells around 3.5 lakh scooters annually.

Suzuki denies the possibility of a 150cc scooter at the moment and will continue focussing on the 100-125cc scooters with their Let’s, Access and Swish range, along with future models in the same segment.

Also, the 150cc Gixxer motorcycle is going to be launched soon.
