In the FY 2019-2020, there were 55,66,036 scooters and 6,36,940 mopeds sold in India, apart from the 1,12,14,640 motorcycles, from the two wheeler industry.
Motorcycle sales were twice in numbers as compared to scooters segment, but popular scooter models still gave a competitive run for money, when it’s comes to sales volume; especially by “Honda Activa”, which ranked 2nd best-selling two wheeler across all segments, only behind “Hero Splendor” motorcycle.
Comparing the overall two-wheelers sales figure of last two Fiscal years (FY2018-19 & FY2019-20), it’s evident that Indians prefer both scooters and motorcycles, almost equally; they just have to suit their need and pocket.
