India is the world’s largest two-wheeler market. There are so many people who are eagerly waiting for the launch of their dream bike, be it the most accessible ones or the exotic ones. There are a number of two-wheeler launches that should have happened by now or were planned for around this time of the year.

Now with the Government easing the restrictions, many automakers have resumed their operations in strict adherence to the guidelines issued by the authorities. They are also introducing new products to keep the sales numbers on track.
