In India, the scooter segment experienced healthy demand in the month of March 2026, with almost all the key models registering healthy yearly sales growth. This boom was an indication of the long-term consumer demand of convenient and fuel-efficient personal transport due to the increased mobility demand in urban and semi-urban areas.
The 10 leading scooters have recorded the following sales in March 2026: 670,914 units, which is a good 29.61 percent improvement on the 517,624 units sold in March of the previous year.
The list of the top 10 highest selling scooters in India (sorted by total volume sold) in March 2026 and the comparison with the same figures in 2025 are as follows:

4. TVS iQube – 38,757 units (March 2025: 26,499 units; +46.26%)
It was this electric scooter that became the best-selling EV in the entire top 10, as the interest in zero-emission commuting and the development of the charging infrastructure improved.

The premium electric product of Bajaj kept gaining momentum, incorporating retro designs with the latest EV technology.

The Dio, with its youthful looks and zippy performance, was one of the quickest-selling models in the list, and appealed to urban youth.
8. Suzuki Burgman – 26,889 units (March 2025: 31,219 units; -13.87%)
The only model among the top 10 to record a drop, perhaps as a result of transitional effect of a new model upgrade.
9. Yamaha RayZR – 25,798 units (March 2025: 14,510 units; +77.79%)
The RayZR has a remarkable growth, and it is due to its lightweight characteristic and fuel efficiency aimed at young consumers.
10. Hero Destini – 24,177 units (March 2025: 15,703 units; +53.96%)
The family-friendly scooter of Hero had a good momentum, as it was attractive to the buyers who needed a practical scooter at an affordable cost.
The good show in the majority of the models indicates the long-term existence of the scooter within the Indian two-wheeler industry. The traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) scooters like the Activa, Jupiter and Access continue to dominate the volumes, but electric ones like the iQube and Chetak are gaining a bigger proportion.
Analysts attribute the growth to a number of factors: economic recovery that favors aspirational purchases, an improved product offering with modern features, and an overall move towards personal mobility after the pandemic. The manufacturers have also had the advantage of increased distribution channels to a farther area into small towns and cities.
Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India maintained the general leadership in the scooter arena and TVS Motor exhibited significant competencies via its ICE and electric portfolio. The competition will further escalate as additional brands launch new models and lower-priced electric models in the next few months.
The segment has ended on a high note with the financial year 2025-26, and now given that the festive season is imminent, the tradition has always been of making even more sales of the two-wheelers during the festive season.
