Top-Selling Two-Wheelers in India – April 2025 Sales Breakdown

The Indian two-wheeler market in April 2025 continued to be dominated by trusted names, but sales data tells a story of mixed outcomes. While commuter bikes like the Hero Splendor and Honda Activa still led the charts, both saw significant drops in their year-on-year (YoY) numbers. On the other hand, scooters like the TVS Jupiter and bikes like the Honda Shine showed strong growth.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the top 10 best-selling two-wheelers in India for April 2025.

April 2025 Two-Wheeler Sales – Comparison Table

1. Hero Splendor – Still the Leader, But Losing Ground

Hero MotoCorp’s Splendor remained the top-seller in April 2025, but not without concern. The model registered 1,97,893 units, a sharp 38.34% drop from the 3.2 lakh units sold in April 2024. While it still commands the highest market share at 20.62%, the downward trend is noteworthy.

2. Honda Activa – Scooters Still Rule the Streets

The Honda Activa continued its run as India’s favorite scooter with 1,94,787 units sold. However, that’s a 25.1% drop from the same month last year. Despite this, it maintained a strong 20.30% share, solidifying its second-place standing.

3. Honda Shine – A Bright Spot in the Segment

Bucking the downward trend, Honda Shine posted 18.3% YoY growth, climbing from 1,42,751 to 1,68,908 units. This commuter-friendly bike secured the third spot and is becoming an increasingly popular choice in the 125cc segment.

4. Bajaj Pulsar – Sports Appeal, but Lower Numbers

The Pulsar lineup saw a decline of 14.36%, slipping from 1,44,809 to 1,24,012 units. Despite the dip, it continues to be a top performer in the sporty commuter category, holding fourth position.

5. TVS Jupiter – Rapid Growth and Rising Popularity

TVS Jupiter was the biggest gainer among the top five, with sales jumping 33.08% to 1,02,588 units in April 2025. With a new 125cc version teased, the scooter saw growing interest and now commands a 10.69% share.

6. Suzuki Access – Quietly Consistent

The Access 125 from Suzuki logged 65,107 units, up from 61,960 units, reflecting a 5.08% growth. It continues to be a reliable option in the 125cc scooter segment.

7. TVS Apache – Stability in a Volatile Market

TVS Apache stayed consistent with a marginal 0.25% rise, selling 45,633 units in April 2025. Though growth was flat, its continued presence in the top ten shows stable demand among performance enthusiasts.

8. TVS Raider – Feeling the Heat

The sporty TVS Raider 125 saw a 15.8% dip, falling to 43,028 units. Market competition and shifting demand patterns may have impacted sales.

9. Hero HF Deluxe – Sharpest Decline in Top 10

HF Deluxe recorded the biggest drop among the top ten, with sales nosediving 57.09% from 97,048 to 41,645 units. Once a volume driver for Hero, the commuter bike now struggles to stay in the top 10.

10. TVS XL – Rural Stronghold Holds On

The rugged TVS XL managed to stay in the top 10 with 38,748 units, though it faced a 7.58% YoY decline. Still popular in rural and delivery segments, the XL retains its niche appeal.

Overall Market Snapshot

Combined sales of the top 10 models in April 2025 stood at 9.59 lakh units, down by over 84,000 units compared to April 2024 which is not good. This marks an 8.07% YoY drop, reflecting a broader trend of cautious consumer sentiment and evolving buying preferences in the two-wheeler space which is worrying some auto experts.

Conclusion

April 2025’s two-wheeler sales presented a mixed bag — while legacy leaders like Hero Splendor and Honda Activa saw declines, while models like Honda Shine and TVS Jupiter showed strong growth potential. As the market moves toward premium 125cc options and feature-rich scooters, manufacturers will need to adapt quickly to maintain momentum.  It looks like newly launched TVS Jupiter is gaing market share at the expense of Honda Active while Honda shine taking the market share of Hero Splendor. In this Hero Moto Corp is bleeding market share and loosing market leadership.
