April 2026 has been a relatively calm month for two-wheeler sales in India, with most of the major manufacturers reporting a minor decline in sales figures compared to March 2026. But the year-on-year growth is still high, as most manufacturers are reporting double-digit growth compared to the same time last year. As always, the mass market commuters and scooters remained the breadwinners for most of the manufacturers, and the EV segment also saw minor growth. What remains to be seen is how the market will react to the new 350cc bikes launched by Bajaj Group brands and if that segment will see growth due to the more affordable pricing.
Hero MotoCorp - 5,32,433 units
Hero Motocorp remains to lead the pack in April, with 5,32,433 units sold, which is down 3.6 per cent compared to March 2026. The year-on-year growth, however, is still strong, with Hero reporting an 84.5 per cent increase. The export market also saw a bit of a decline, with them selling 33,653 units compared to 45,693 units in March 2026. Commuters like the Splendor and the HF series dominated the pie, but the main shocker was the Vida series, which continues to do well with 15,230 units sold.
Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India - 4,84,000 units
Honda Motorcycles and Scooters retains its second place, with 4,84,000 units sold. This was down by 5.5 per cent compared to March 2026. The year-on-year sales, however, are up by 14.44 per cent compared to April 2025. The export side of things was significantly better, with 79,600 units sold vs 36,842 units in March. Scooters like the Activa remained the best sellers, and motorcycles like the Unicorn and Shine also contributed to the majority of sales.
TVS Motor Company - 3,86,206 units
TVS Motor Company remains third in the standings, with 4,73,970 units sold.

The year-on-year growth was also strong, as the sales were up by 11.3 per cent compared to the same time last year. Bajaj Auto was the largest exporter in the month of April, with a massive 2,29,890 units sold, which is a 40 per cent growth over March 2026.
