Performance as per OEM
The OEM-wise performance of the 150-200cc segment highlights a clear shift towards sporty commuters, with many brands registering strong double-digit growth. TVS remains the leader with Apache, but Bajaj has narrowed the gap to a great extent, registering 45%+ YoY growth due to strong demand for Pulsar.
Honda continues to be a steady volume player with new products like Unicorn and SP160 contributing to growth of around 30%. Yamaha emerged as one of the strongest gainers, with its combined portfolio growing nearly 40%, led by the FZ and supported by the R15 and MT-15.
Hero’s performance is primarily driven by Xpulse, which continues to gain momentum, while KTM maintains strong niche growth at the premium end. On the other hand, Suzuki and Kawasaki have seen a decline, indicating weak traction in the segment. Overall, the growth trend suggests increasing consumer preference towards performance-oriented, feature-rich motorcycles over traditional commuter offerings.
