Honda Sales September 2025: Growth, Exports & Festive Boost
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Reports Robust Growth in September 2025
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) continued its growth momentum in September 2025, recording total sales of 5.68 lakh two-wheelers. Compared to August 2025, this marks a 6% increase, reflecting stronger festive season demand and consistent export performance.
Domestic Sales: Strong Start to Festive Season
Domestic sales contributed the lion’s share, crossing 5.05 lakh units in September compared to 4.81 lakh in August. This 5% month-on-month rise can be attributed to:
- The festive season kick-off, which traditionally fuels consumer spending.
- New model launches like the CB125 Hornet and Shine 100 DX, which have attracted both urban and rural buyers.
- Increased dealership activity, with showrooms witnessing higher footfall.
Exports: Expanding Global Footprint
HMSI’s exports stood at 62,000 units in September, up from 53,500 in August—a strong 16% monthly growth. More notably, exports surged 32% year-on-year, highlighting:
- Rising international demand for Honda’s affordable and fuel-efficient models.
- Stronger market penetration in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
- A growing contribution of exports to Honda’s overall business, reducing dependency on the domestic market.
Half-Yearly Performance (April–September 2025)
In the first half of FY2025-26, HMSI sold nearly 30 lakh two-wheelers. Domestic demand dominated the numbers, but exports formed a meaningful share. This performance keeps Honda firmly in the position of India’s second-largest two-wheeler manufacturer, just behind Hero MotoCorp.
