Two-Wheeler Sales 2026 (Year to Date): 1,91,05,074 Units, Up 12.5% YoY

India's two-wheeler market registered 1,91,05,074 two-wheelers in CY 2026 so far. Volumes rose sharply 12.5% against the 1,69,83,053 logged over the same 10 months of CY 2025.

October was the strongest month of the period at 23,27,796 two-wheelers and August the quietest at 17,28,104, an average of 19,10,507 a month. 9 of those 10 months grew on the same month a year earlier.

CY 2026 still has 2 months to run. Held at the pace of the 10 months already counted, it would finish near 2.29 Cr two-wheelers — a run rate rather than a forecast, and the festive quarter moves it more than anything else on this page.

Two-wheelers accounted for 70.8% of everything registered in India over the period, down from 71.7% in CY 2025. The whole market ran to 2,69,81,429 vehicles over the same window, up 13.9% year on year.

Hero MotoCorp led the period with 49,68,422 registrations, up 5.2% on CY 2025. Honda 2W (HMSI) follows on 48,78,762, 89,660 behind — a gap of 1.02x.

The fastest riser in the top 8 was Ather Energy, up 67.5% to 2,94,091.

Volumes here are registrations inside the segment only, counted with Vahan's own vehicle-class filter, so each is the manufacturer's two-wheeler volume over CY 2026. Companies that file electric models under a maker of their own appear as separate rows.

Set against the rest of the market, two-wheelers lagged the national picture over CY 2026: +12.5% against +13.9% for every vehicle registered in India.

இந்த அட்டவணை Vahan அறிக்கை அளிக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு பிரிவையும் ஒரே 10 மாதக் காலத்தில் உள்ளடக்குகிறது; அதனால் ஒப்பீடு நேருக்கு நேர் — இரு பக்கமும் ஒரே மாதங்கள், ஒரே மூலம்.

Vahan splits a segment by fuel only across a whole calendar year, so this table covers 2026 year to date rather than CY 2026 alone — it is exact for that window.

Petrol accounts for 90.6% of two-wheeler registrations over 2026 year to date, with battery-electric at 9.3%.

Across the 2 completed windows in our Vahan record, two-wheeler registrations went from 1,96,48,547 in CY 2024 to 2,10,19,712 in CY 2025, up 7.0% over the stretch.

CY 2026 is still running — 10 of its 12 months are counted — so it is a part window and is never set against a full one. Its year-on-year figure compares only the months it actually holds.

State-level volumes for a single segment come from a calendar-year table, so the figures below cover 2026 year to date. Uttar Pradesh leads with 26,62,577 registrations, 13.3% of the segment.
