What’s the Buzz October Scooter Sales Snapshot
In October 2025, scooter sales across India got a boost, with combined sales of the top 10 models reaching 7,37,263 units a 15.6% increase compared to October 2024. Leading the charts once again was Honda Activa, followed by TVS Jupiter and Suzuki Access. Even electric-scooter contenders like Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube made the top-10, showing a growing shift toward EVs.
Why These Scooters Stand Out Background & Market Context
Scooters remain a favourite among Indian commuters because of their practicality, ease of use, and affordability ideal for city rides or short commutes. Petrol models have long dominated thanks to reliability and wide service networks. But with rising interest in greener transport, electric scooters are steadily carving a niche. The October 2025 list reflects this dual market: familiar petrol favourites alongside emerging EV alternatives.
