GURUGRAM: Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has ended FY2026 in fine fettle. The two-wheeler maker recorded total sales of 63,69,504 units in the April 2025 to March 2026 period, a 9 per cent jump over FY2025, driven by sustained customer demand, improving market sentiment and a sharp focus on strengthening its presence across key segments.

The performance reflected a balanced showing across both markets, underpinned by a strong product portfolio and HMSI’s consistent emphasis on quality, reliability and customer satisfaction.
The company, which operates across 7,000-plus touchpoints in India, also underscored its commitment to road safety, pointing to its “Safety for Everyone” vision and the deployment of technologies such as ABS, CBS and rider-assist features across its range.
Twenty-nine per cent in March. Nine per cent for the year. For Honda in India, FY2026 was a very good ride indeed.
