Honda sells 5.74 lakh 2-wheelers in January, registers 29% growth
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) kicked off 2026 with a bang, selling 5.74 lakh two-wheelers in January—a 29% jump from last year.
Most of these were sold right here in India, with exports also adding a boost.
Close race with Hero MotoCorp
Honda's domestic sales for January nearly matched Hero MotoCorp's numbers, showing how close the race is at the top.
For this financial year so far, Honda has crossed 52 lakh units sold—thanks to favorites like Activa and Shine.
Expanding dealership network and focus on rider safety
Honda isn't just selling more bikes—they're also opening new dealerships in cities like Erode and Moradabad, making it easier to buy and get service.
Plus, their "Safety for Everyone" campaigns across multiple cities show they're putting effort into rider safety too.
Honda's growth story
With Honda now outpacing even Hero MotoCorp's total wholesales last month, competition in India's two-wheeler market is heating up.
For anyone interested in bikes or just watching big brands battle it out, this is a space worth keeping an eye on.
