The company also achieved higher sales in July compared to June 2026. Domestically, Honda sold 476,436 units, while exports reached 66,498 units with a 35.58 percent increase. Since Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India is set to introduce new models, this strong sales performance will give the company confidence to move forward.

An analysis of the sales figures shows that during the first four months of the fiscal year 2027, i.e., from April to July, the company sold over 2.154 million two-wheelers, indicating a growth of 13.97 percent. The company sold an average of 17,656 units per day in 122 days. Alongside the domestic market, the company's exports have also increased; the company exported over 264,000 two-wheelers in the last four months.

This rapid growth by Honda comes at a time when the company is preparing for its biggest launch in the country. At a recently held event, Honda showcased 10 new bikes and scooters that will be launched in the Indian market in the coming time.

These bikes and scooters will gradually become available in the Indian market, including several new names entering the market for the first time. For example, the Honda ADV 160 is an adventure street scooter that the company is bringing, and it will be the country's first flex fuel scooter, meaning it can also run on ethanol.

Additionally, the company will introduce the CB500 Roadster, Rebel 300, Rebel 500, XR 300 L Dual Sport motorcycle, XR 300 Rally Adventure Tourer, and QC3 electric scooter. Honda has also updated its current CB 350, CB350 C, and CB 350 RS with new color options.
