Maharashtra-based two-wheeler maker Bajaj Auto   has sold 3.47 lakh units in May that registered a growth of only 1 percent over 3.45 lakh units sold in year-ago period. Lower-than-expected growth in motorcycles & domestic business and weak exports hit overall sales.

S Ravikumar, President - Business Development, Bajaj Auto says the market share of company will be maintained at 20 percent levels but June and July, which are softer months, will see lower sales both in domestic market and exports.
