India’s Two-Wheeler Industry Crosses 2 Crore Milestone in 2025

India’s Two-Wheeler

The Indian two-wheeler (2W) industry has scripted a strong comeback in calendar year 2025. For the first time since the pandemic slowdown, domestic sales have crossed the 2 crore (20 million) mark, closing the year at approximately 20.50 million units.

This translates to a 4.9%–7% year-on-year growth, depending on whether registration or dispatch data is considered. While still marginally below the all-time peak of 21 million units in 2018, the industry has clearly entered a fresh growth cycle heading into 2026.

1. Domestic Sales: A Policy-Led Recovery

The biggest turnaround came in the second half of 2025, driven largely by GST 2.0 reforms.

GST 2.0 Impact

  • GST on motorcycles and scooters up to 350cc reduced from 28% to 18%
  • Improved affordability for middle-class and first-time buyers
  • Immediate price correction across commuter and premium segments
  • Urban Growth Leads: Cities and tier-2 towns drove most of the volume
  • Scooters Grow Faster: Scooter demand grew quicker than motorcycles in urban markets
  • Festive Record: October–December (Q3) became the strongest quarter ever, with 5.70 million units sold
  • Rural Stability: Good monsoons and farm income kept rural demand steady, though urban India led growth

2. Exports: India’s Global Two-Wheeler Boom

Exports were the standout performer of 2025.

Export Highlights

  • 4.94 million units exported – an all-time high
  • 24.2% year-on-year growth
  • Strong recovery in:
    • African markets
    • South Asia
    • Latin America

India continues to strengthen its position as the global hub for affordable motorcycles and scooters.

3. Brand-Wise Snapshot: Winners & Momentum

Manufacturer2025 VolumeMarket Status
Hero MotoCorp57.5 lakhMarket leader; modest ~2% growth
TVS Motor Co.39.8 lakhFastest growth at 15.7%
Honda (HMSI)Gap with Hero widened to 8.51 lakh units
Royal Enfield10+ lakhExpected to cross 1 million annual sales
SuzukiStrong double-digit growth (Access, Burgman)

TVS emerged as the growth champion, while Royal Enfield continued to dominate the mid-capacity premium segment.

4. Major Market Shifts in 2025

Move Beyond 110cc

  • Strong pivot toward 125cc+ motorcycles
  • Premium scooters gained traction in cities

Alternative Fuels & Convenience

  • Growing interest in CNG two-wheelers
  • Automatic and AMT-style convenience becoming more important

Premiumisation Trend

  • Rising demand for:
    • Adventure motorcycles
    • 300cc–500cc middleweights
  • Market gradually moving away from pure “commuter-only” focus

2026 Outlook: Can India Beat the 2018 Record?

With:

  • Strong export momentum
  • Expected repo rate cuts
  • Income tax relief boosting disposable income
  • Multiple EV and ADV launches lined up

2026 could finally see India surpass its 2018 peak of 21 million two-wheelers.

Entry-level electric scooters and premium motorcycles are expected to be the biggest growth drivers going forward.

GadiGarage Verdict

Crossing 2 crore two-wheeler sales isn’t just a recovery milestone — it signals a structural reset for the Indian market. With better pricing, stronger exports, and shifting buyer preferences, the industry is entering a healthier, more diversified phase.

So, what are you watching in 2026 — electric scooters finally overtaking 110cc commuters, or the continued rise of premium motorcycles?
