However, it faced problems due to being a two-stroke. New emission norms came in India due to which the sale of two-stroke two-wheelers became difficult. Apart from this, the sale of motorcycles had also picked up pace. Hero had taken a big leap in the bike segment. On the other hand, Bajaj's entire focus was on scooters. That's why Bajaj thought of moving forward in the bike market and the sale of Priya scooter also stopped.
