Buoyed by GST reforms and strong festive demand, India's two-wheeler sales soared, with leading manufacturers reporting 8 to 11 per cent growth in sales during October 2025.

Chennai-based two-wheeler manufacturer TVS Motor Company recorded monthly sales reaching 5,43,557 units, an 11 per cent YoY, the company said on Saturday.

Two-wheelers drove strong sales with a 10 per cent increase to 525,150 units, alongside a 21 per cent rise in total international business sales to 1,15,806 units.

Two-wheeler sales abroad grew by 18 per cent, increasing from 87,670 units in October 2024 to 103,519 units in October 2025. Domestic two-wheeler sales of TVS grew 8 per cent YoY, with sales touching 4,21,631 units in October.

While the retail EV sales continue to be robust, magnet availability continues to pose challenges in the short to medium term, the company noted.

Meanwhile, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. reported strong sales totalling 129,261 units, up 8 per cent YoY. The company's retail sales reached an all-time high of 140,679 units in October, the company said.

Ltd.

The 70% growth in three-wheelers is impressive! Auto-rickshaws are the lifeline of many Indian cities, and this growth indicates better last-mile connectivity options.

While the numbers look good, I hope manufacturers are also focusing on safety features. Many two-wheeler accidents happen because of poor braking systems and lack of basic safety equipment.

The export growth is fantastic! Made in India vehicles gaining international recognition. TVS exporting over 1 lakh units shows our manufacturing quality is world-class. 🇮🇳

Electric vehicle growth at 11% is decent, but I expected more given the government push. The magnet availability issue mentioned is concerning - hope this gets resolved soon for faster EV adoption.

As a working woman in Bangalore, my scooter is essential for daily commute. Good to see manufacturers performing well. The 7% scooter growth shows more women are becoming independent in their mobility needs. 💪
