Performance as per OEM
The OEM-wise performance in January 2026 highlights Honda’s continued dominance in the scooter segment. Including Activa and Dio, Honda registered a strong YoY growth of 55.20% at 2,97,386 units. The bulk of this expansion came from Activa alone, which is largely keeping the segment strong. This performance further strengthens Honda’s leadership position in the urban and semi-urban markets.
TVS Motor took the second position from Jupiter, iQube and Ntorq with 2,03,900 units, marking a healthy growth of 30.18% year-on-year. The growth was driven by both its petrol portfolio and the ever-expanding iQube electric lineup. Suzuki recorded moderate growth of 15.37% as Access remained its volume driver despite decline in Burgman.
Among the pure EV-centric players in the list, Ather recorded a strong growth of 68.27% along with Rizta, while Bajaj Chetak grew by 34.07% YoY. Hero MotoCorp’s Destini 125 emerged as one of the fastest growing models, with volumes almost doubling at 97.12% growth, indicating renewed traction in the 125cc scooter space. Overall, the growth in OEMs suggests a balanced demand between conventional petrol scooters and electric offerings.
