India Two-Wheeler Market Grows 12.9% in April 2026

India’s two-wheeler market entered FY27 with steady retail demand during April 2026 across several regions. Registrations reached nearly 1.92 million units last month, recording a 12.9 percent yearly increase despite a slight monthly decline. Moreover, motorcycles continued leading overall registrations, while electric scooters also posted steady demand growth. Hero MotoCorp and Honda retained their leading market positions during April. In addition, Delhi emerged as the country’s largest city market for two-wheeler registrations last month.

Registrations See Yearly Growth Despite Monthly Decline

India recorded nearly 1.92 million two-wheeler registrations during April 2026, according to JATO Dynamics India data. However, registrations declined by 2.3 percent compared to March 2026 after the financial year-end buying period.

Despite the monthly decline, yearly registrations increased by 12.9 percent compared to April last year. Therefore, the market continued showing stable retail demand across urban and rural regions during April. JATO Dynamics stated that improving consumer sentiment and steady financing support helped maintain registrations last month. In addition, better product availability also supported retail sales during the beginning of FY27.

Commenting on the latest numbers, Ravi Bhatia, President, JATO Dynamics India Global Automotive Intelligence, said, “April’s two-wheeler numbers reflect a mature and predictable market. The marginal month-on-month decline is seasonal and expected. The year-on-year growth, on a higher base, is the real story and it remains firmly intact.”
