Two wheeler sales showed strong YoY growth boosted by increased demand for Activa and Jupiter scooters
Festive and policy boosts caused two-wheeler sales to peak during the month of October 2025. The new GST rate, reduced from 28% to 18% across two-wheelers in the up to 350cc segment, caused a significant reduction in prices, thereby stirring up buyer sentiments. Markets also remained favorable due to strong monsoons, which significantly augmented rural demand.
