New Delhi Two-wheeler maker Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India said it is expecting its sales to grow by 18 per cent during the current fiscal on the back of several launches.

The company has already launched a new Activa and a new version of 125 cc bike CBF Stunner and is planning to launch a 100 cc bike by March 2010.

"So far we have grown by 26 per cent within this fiscal and our target is to increase sales by 18 per cent in 2009-10," Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) Operating Head (Sales and Marketing) Naresh Kumar Rattan said on the sidelines of a function here.

The company had sold 10.7 lakh units last fiscal and is aiming to sell over 12.5 lakh units by March 2010, he added.

"In the first four months of this fiscal our motorcycle sales have grown by 45 per cent, while scooter segment moved upwards by 10 per cent...We have already launched a new Activa and a new version of our 125 cc bike CBF Stunner," Rattan added.

When asked about the new product launches, he said, "We will foray into the mass segment by introducing a 100 cc bike by the end of this fiscal. We are also planning to roll out a few versions of our existing models."

HMSI is targeting to sell one lakh units of its proposed 100 cc bike within the first year of its launch, he added.
