Honda Projects Growth in Two-Wheeler Sales Amid Declining Passenger Vehicle Market Share
Honda Motorcycle Scooter India (HMSI) anticipates domestic two-wheeler sales to reach six million units by March 2027, reflecting a 4.3% year-on-year growth driven by strong scooter demand and festive season sales. Conversely, Honda Cars India has seen its passenger vehicle market share decline sharply over the past decade, dropping from nearly 7% in FY16 to 1.33% in FY26 amid rising competition and shifting consumer preferences, with sales falling from 1.92 lakh to 61,943 units during this period.
