In South, AP, Telangana, Karnataka, the entire Kerala belt, the scooter category is far higher than north, he informed.
All markets like Tamil Nadu, the scooter is almost 65 percent while in Telugu states, the fleet would be about 44 percent scooters because of infrastructure and roads, especially rural roads.
