KTM India recorded strong overall growth in March 2026, mainly due to a sharp increase in exports. Total sales (domestic + exports) stood at 14,188 units, more than double as compared to 6,816 units in March 2025, a huge growth of 108.16%. However, on a month-on-month basis, total sales declined by 4.11% compared to February 2026.
Domestic Sales Cross 8.9k Units – 250 Range Lead
In the domestic market, KTM sold 8,926 units in March 2026, which is a good growth of 41.06% YoY as compared to 6,328 units sold last year. However, domestic sales declined 7.52% to 9,652 units in February 2026. The 250cc range emerged as the top contributor with 4,453 units, accounting for nearly 50% of domestic sales. It recorded a strong growth of 116% year-on-year, highlighting the growing demand in this segment.
The 160/200cc range stood second with 3,471 units, up 34.95% YoY, while contributing close to 39% share. In contrast, the 390cc range saw a decline, selling 1,002 units, down 40.92% year-on-year. This suggests a temporary slowdown, possibly due to transition phases or upcoming product updates.
Almost 10 times increase in exports year-on-year
KTM’s export performance was the biggest attraction. The company shipped 5,262 units in March 2026, compared to only 488 units in March 2025 – an impressive growth of 978.28% YoY. The 390cc range dominated exports, contributing 2,652 units and accounting for over 50% share.
The 160/200cc segment also performed strongly with 1,278 units, while the 125cc and 250cc ranges added meaningful volumes. On a MoM basis, exports grew by 2.29%, indicating continued momentum in international markets.
total sales contribution
Looking at the overall sales mix (domestic + exports), the 250cc range leads the charts with 4,945 units, accounting for around 35% share. This was followed by the 160/200cc segment with 4,749 units, which contributed about 33%. The 390cc range recorded 3,654 units, accounting for about 26% of total sales, while the 125cc segment added 840 units. Notably, despite negligible contribution to the domestic market, the 125cc range witnessed sharp growth mainly due to strong export volumes.
KTM has also taken a strategic move to expand its reach by introducing new 350cc variants of the Duke and Adventure range. These models are positioned as a more affordable alternative to the existing 399cc lineup, benefiting from a lower price while retaining the same design and core performance characteristics. With this move, KTM is targeting a wider group of buyers who may find the 390 range a bit expensive. The introduction of these more accessible options could play a significant role in boosting domestic sales volumes in the coming months, especially in the highly competitive mid-capacity segment.
