GaadiWaadi -

In the first half of FY2025-26 (April to September period), Hero finished on top of the two-wheeler sales charts ahead of its arch rival Honda and others

Hero MotoCorp retained the number one position in the first half of FY26 according to Vahan data which doesn’t take Telangana into account while Honda and TVS Motor Company continued to put up aggressive performances. The volumes are dominated by commuter motorcycles, entry-level sporty offerings and scooters.

The homegrown manufacturer finished April to September 2025 period as the clear leader recording a total of 24.14 lakh units with the Splendor emerging as its major volume contributor. The sustained demand for its entry-level models has ensured Hero remains the benchmark in volume sales ahead of its arch rival, Honda.

The Japanese auto major, with 21.84 lakh units, secured the second spot. While the brand’s scooters continue to drive the bulk of its sales, Honda has been steadily building presence in the motorcycle category too courtesy of the Shine 100 and its 125 cc models. The Activa remains the country’s top-selling scooter – helping Honda stay close on Hero’s heels in overall numbers.

The Hosur-based manufacturer also benefits from a growing export base – giving it an added advantage compared to some of its rivals on a broader spectrum. Bajaj Auto came in at fourth with 11.43 lakh units. The strategy of pushing its Pulsar range along with Chetak has allowed it to stay resilient. The brand will expand its portfolio further in the coming years.
