  • Honda sold 13,38,015 units of the Activa from January till June 2016

  • The Activa sales account for almost 15% of the total 2-wheeler industry

There is no doubt that Honda Two Wheelers is currently having a purple patch in India. Its models are doing very well and the Activa, well, has now officially become the highest selling two-wheeler in India by having beaten the Hero Splendor for the last 6 months. This is the first time in 17 long years that this has happened. Such was the might and hold of Hero and erstwhile Hero Honda on the Indian two-wheeler industry.

But the Activa came up and how. In the last 6 months, it sold 13, 38, 015 units to come up to the top of the two-wheeler sales chart. You would be surprised to know that the Activa contributes to almost 15 per cent of the overall domestic two-wheeler sales, which, surprisingly, is larger than the combined total sales of 125cc motorcycles in India. For the first half of 2016, the Honda Activa has a lead of little more than 1 lakh units over the Hero Splendor.
