Honda Activa Crosses 35 Million Sales in India (2025)

🏍️ India’s Most Trusted Scooter Turns Electric

A father rides to work, a mother moves to market, and a college student learns balance, all on one scooter.

That scooter is the Honda Activa.

In October 2025, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) announced that the Activa family has surpassed 35 million (3.5 crore) cumulative sales, a first in India’s two-wheeler history.
What began in 2001 as a humble 102 cc scooter has now evolved into an iconic mobility platform, spanning petrol, hybrid, and the newly launched Activa e electric variant.

📈 The Milestone, 35 Million and Counting

“The Activa has been the face of India’s scooter revolution. Reaching 35 million sales is not just a number; it’s trust built over two decades.”, Atsushi Ogata, MD & CEO, HMSI (Oct 2025)
