Ten days into booking and it has already won 5000 units of booked. Expected launch date of the scooter is somewhere in the mid-September, we are guessing it will be launched on 14 of this month. With the overwhelming response that the company has received on the basis of the pre-booking of this two wheeler that has special focus on girls and women, Yamaha is expecting huge returns. The association of Deepika Padukone with Yamaha has helped the name fly leaps and bounds, which is another factor for the scooter to have gained this much of hype.

There has been the best of response from the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and also from Tamil Nadu, Kerela, Andhra Pradesh. The National Business Head of Yamaha, Roy Kurian, has to say the following, “We have already clocked 5,000 bookings with a down payment of Rs 5,000-10,000 across our dealer network. There has been an overwhelming response, especially from Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and southern markets including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala.”

And now it brings the RAY, to be spread all over shining as brightly as it can. And at what price! Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 50,000.
