Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has reported strong domestic sales in March 2026, which totaled 5,12,303 units as compared to 4,00,792 units in March 2025. This translates to a healthy growth of 27.82%, mainly driven by scooters and entry-level motorcycles.
Honda 2W Sales Breakup March 2026
Honda Activa remains the company’s best-selling product by a significant margin. It recorded 2,59,670 units in March 2026, up from 1,89,735 units last year, registering a growth of 36.86% year-on-year. The Activa alone accounts for over 50% of Honda’s domestic sales, highlighting its continued dominance in the scooter segment.
Shine 125 and SP125 combined posted 1,46,657 units, growing 8.33% year-on-year, and contributing 28.63% share. Along with the Activa, these models form the backbone of Honda’s volume strategy. The Dio (including Dio 125) has emerged as one of the fastest growing models in Honda’s lineup, with sales at 31,180 units, up 85.25% year-on-year. The sporty scooter continues to attract young buyers, strengthening Honda’s presence beyond the Activa.
Shine 100 has performed impressively with 26,441 units, showing a growth of 67.78% year-on-year. This indicates a strong hold in the budget commuter segment. Unicorn registered a steady growth of 17.01% YoY at 34,358 units, maintaining its position as a reliable 150-160 cc commuter offering.
The CB350 has seen a sharp increase in volumes, reaching 4,365 units compared to only 1,179 units last year, registering a massive growth of 270.23%. This reflects the growing demand in the mid-size retro motorcycle segment. Honda has also added the Hornet 125 to its portfolio, which has contributed 3,624 units in the initial phase. The H’ness 350 and CB350RS together posted 2,523 units, a marginal growth of 7.18% year-on-year. Although growth is positive, volumes are limited compared to what the mass market offers.
On the other hand, many models have seen declines. The Livo fell to 2,073 units (-61.45% YoY), while the SP160 fell sharply to 498 units (-63.52% YoY). The CB200X and Hornet 2.0 also saw a drop of more than 50%. The electric scooter QC1 recorded 308 units, down significantly from last year’s 1,996 units, indicating weak traction in its current form. Honda is reportedly working on a new electric scooter, which will be better suited for India. To date their is nowhere near EV leaders TVS, Bajaj and Ather, which together are selling over 1 lakh electric scooters every month.
MoM performance remains stable
Honda’s performance remained largely flat on a month-on-month basis. Sales stood at 5,12,303 units in March 2026, slightly lower than 5,13,217 units in February 2026, reflecting a marginal decline of 0.18%. Activa and Shine continued to grow sequentially, while models like Shine 100, Hornet 125 and SP160 saw a decline compared to February.
Honda’s March 2026 performance highlights a clear trend – core volume models like Activa and Shine continue to grow supported by strong demand in the entry-level segment. Scooters remain Honda’s biggest strength, contributing a major part to overall sales.
Also, the company is seeing mixed results in the premium and niche segments, with some models gaining popularity while others struggle to maintain volumes. Going forward, Honda’s focus on expanding its commuter and scooter lineup, as well as strengthening its midsize and EV portfolio, will be key to sustaining growth in the Indian market.
