Two-wheelers will continue leading the auto pack even in 2015, despite having reported weak demand in December, says Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) President Vikram Kirloskar.

According to him, the lower demand for two-wheeler vehicles in December may just be a one-off as there is a lot more scope for growth of two-wheelers in India.

In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Kirloskar says the auto industry grew about 2-3 percent last year but this year it is expected to double its growth rate to around 5 percent.
