Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) began calendar year 2026 on a strong note, reporting total sales of 5,74,411 units in January. The performance was driven by solid domestic demand of 5,19,579 units, complemented by exports of 54,832 units, underscoring the company’s growing footprint across markets.

The company registered an impressive 29 per cent year-on-year growth compared to January 2025, reflecting sustained consumer confidence and strong acceptance of HMSI’s diverse product portfolio in both domestic and international markets. This momentum also translated into robust cumulative performance for the current financial year.

Of this, domestic sales stood at 47,23,979 units, while exports accounted for 5,29,226 units, reinforcing Honda’s position as one of the leading two-wheeler manufacturers in the country.

Beyond sales, HMSI continued to strengthen its commitment to social responsibility and customer-centric growth.

These initiatives focused on encouraging responsible riding practices and building community awareness for safer roads.

HMSI also hosted a Road Safety Convention in Malappuram, Kerala, engaging school principals and teachers to nurture safe road habits among children from an early age. In addition, the company conducted a series of awareness campaigns nationwide and launched the Jaipur Ideal Road Safety Project to mark National Road Safety Month.

On the network front, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India expanded its reach with new authorised dealerships in Erode, Bilaspur, Moradabad and Udhampur. Backed by specially trained sales and service teams, these outlets aim to deliver personalised guidance and support, reinforcing HMSI’s focus on customer-centric mobility solutions.

“At HMSI, mobility is more than a means of transport, it is a way to empower people, connect communities, and enrich lives. Every product we create is a step towards making mobility safer, cleaner, and more accessible, so that millions of Indians can chase their dreams with confidence,” the company stated. This philosophy aligns with its “Safety for Everyone” vision, embracing riders, pedestrians, communities and the larger road ecosystem, supported by advanced technologies such as ABS, CBS and rider-assist features.

“With people at the heart of everything we do, Honda stands not just as a brand but as a partner in India’s growth story. Our commitment to the future is reflected in our efforts toward a safer and greener tomorrow,” HMSI added, reaffirming its long-term commitment to sustainable and responsible mobility in India.
