Hero MotoCorp solidified its position as India's leading motorcycle manufacturer in November 2025, registering domestic sales of 512,645 units—a robust 25.3% year-on-year increase from 409,292 units in November 2024, according to SIAM data released on December 13, 2025. The performance widened Hero's lead in the mass-market commuter and entry-level premium segments, capitalising on sustained festive-season demand and strong rural recovery.
Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India maintained second place with 245,333 units sold, reflecting a 23.7% growth over the previous year's 198,265 units. The company's volume was bolstered by the consistent popularity of its 125cc and mid-capacity models, which remain key contributors in urban and semi-urban markets.
Bajaj Auto was the only major player among the top five to report a decline, with domestic sales dropping 7.6% to 164,138 units from 177,701 units a year earlier. The dip indicates softer demand in certain core segments amid competitive pressures and inventory adjustments.

TVS Motor Company posted an 18.9% rise, selling 118,326 motorcycles compared to 99,523 units in November 2024, driven by steady commuter sales and growing acceptance of newer offerings.
Royal Enfield matched Hero's growth rate at 25.2%, dispatching 90,405 units against 72,236 the prior year, fuelled by enduring demand for its 350cc and 650cc classics in the lifestyle segment.
The month's results highlight a polarised market recovery, with volume-driven brands like Hero, Honda, TVS, and Royal Enfield gaining traction while others faced headwinds. Overall industry trends suggest improving sentiment post-festive period, setting a positive tone for the ongoing fiscal year.
