Scooter sales were up 12.92% YoY in August 2025 while the segment also showed off strong MoM demand
In an earlier report we listed out best-selling two wheelers in Aug 2025 which has shown strong YoY performance. The top 10 motorcycle sales have also ended the past month on a positive note while now we assess scooter sales that have also seen increased demand. Overall the segment has benefitted from the new GST 2.0 reforms, making them more affordable for consumers and significantly encouraged first-time buyers.
