Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI), a leading two-wheeler manufacturer in the country, has achieved 5 million cumulative Activa sales in Maharashtra, marking a significant milestone for the brand in one of India’s most influential two-wheeler markets. This landmark has been reached over a span of 25 years, reflecting sustained customer preference and a strong market footprint.

The achievement has been driven by steady demand across Maharashtra’s major markets including Pune, Mumbai, Thane, Nagpur and Navi Mumbai. These cities continue to shape mobility trends, where two-wheelers remain a practical and dependable mode of daily transport. Activa’s growth in the state is supported by a wide customer network with over 700 sales and service touchpoints. This extensive presence enables accessible ownership, dependable after-sales support and long-term customer confidence.

Commenting on the milestone, Mutsuo Usui, Director - Sales & Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “Crossing 5 million Activa sales in Maharashtra reflects the deep trust customers have placed in the brand over the past 25 years. Maharashtra remains one of the most dynamic markets and this achievement highlights how dependable mobility continues to shape everyday commuting. Our focus remains on strengthening customer experience, expanding reach, and ensuring Activa continues to meet the evolving expectations of riders across the state.”

Activa’s strong resale value and service reach have reinforced its continued popularity.
