Honda Activa continued to lead the way ahead of TVS Jupiter and Suzuki Access in May 2025 but with a YoY drop of 11.85 per cent
The sales numbers in the scooter segment for the month of May 2025 have drawn a sharp line between gainers and stragglers with familiar names holding their ground but not without showing some wear. At the very top, Honda’s Activa – still the best-selling scooter in the country – posted a YoY drop of 11.85 per cent, falling to 1,90,713 units compared to 2,16,352 last May.
While the numbers still dwarf competition, it underlines a slowing pace for the once unstoppable nameplate. The real story of momentum belongs to the TVS Jupiter which surged 28.70 per cent to reach 97,606 units comfortably strengthening its hold on the second spot. The Suzuki Access followed suit as it continued its upward trajectory with a 16.92 per cent increase.
Its domestic sales tally last month stood at 75,778 units. Among outliers, TVS XL moped sales dipped 7.75 per cent, coming in at 37,264 units. However, the brand had better luck elsewhere – its electric offering, the iQube, grew handsomely with a YoY bump of over 60 per cent, touching 27,642 units. The iQube now outsells several established petrol-powered rivals.

Recently, Bajaj introduced the more affordable entry-level variant of the Chetak for just under one lakh in India to further capitalise on the nameplate’s good reception.
