Bajaj Auto Ltd. was the biggest loser across all segments. Bajaj is now closer to losing its number two position in the two-wheeler segment. Hero Honda and Hyundai Motors emerged as the two clear gainers in market share in 2008-09.

In the passenger car space, the top three - Maruti, Hyundai Motors and Tata Motors - moved even further apart from the rest in a market that tilted more towards small cars.

Talking about Hero Honda, Against a share of 44.78% in 2007-08, the company now has a share of 48.95% in the two-wheeler segment and an even higher 59.77% in motorcycles.This gain is likely beacose of the losing impact of Bajaj.
