Honda 2W Sales September 2025 – Growth Driven by Exports, New Launches and Safety Initiatives
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has unveiled its recent sales report, and the figures tell a fascinating story of the performance of the brand in domestic and international markets. Honda 2W Sales September 2025 recorded 5,68,164 units, an increase of 5.44 percent on a year-on-year basis against 5,38,852 units sold last year during the same period. The performance reflects Honda’s capability to harmonize steady domestic demand with strong export growth, as well as to continue its emphasis on road safety, customer interaction, and high-end motorcycle sales.
Domestic and Export Performance
Dismantling the figures, Honda retailed 5,05,693 units in the domestic market during September 2025. This is a modest 2.85 percent rise from the 4,91,678 units dispatched in September 2024. The domestic performance reflects a steady recovery notwithstanding challenges in the market like inflationary pressures and change in consumer behavior prior to the festive season.
Exports were the icing on the cake for the month. Honda exported 62,471 units out of the country, which constitutes almost 11 percent of its total sales. This is a growth of 32.43 percent compared to the 47,174 units exported in September of 2024. The great demand for HMSI in overseas markets continues to give it a steady growth cushion at a time when domestic two-wheeler sales are registering only sluggish momentum.
Month-on-Month Growth
On a month-to-month basis, Honda also posted a good performance. In August 2025, when 5,34,861 units were sold, in September there was a 6.23 percent upturn. Domestic sales went up from 4,81,021 units during August to 5,05,693 units in September, and exports jumped from 53,840 to 62,471 units, indicating a healthy 16 percent MoM increase. This double-digit growth in exports indicates that overseas markets are becoming progressively more important for Honda’s long-term expansion plan.
Sales Table
| Month | Total Sales | Domestic | Exports | YoY % | MoM % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 2025 | 5,68,164 | 5,05,693 | 62,471 | 5.44% | 6.23% |
| August 2025 | 5,34,861 | 4,81,021 | 53,840 | 2.10% | -1.50% |
| July 2025 | 5,12,000 | 4,56,000 | 56,000 | 1.20% | -3.00% |
Quarterly and Year-to-Date Trends
Stepping back from the quarterly perspective, Honda’s second-quarter FY2026 performance at 16,18,403 units was a 3.69 percent year-over-year increase over 15,60,804 units in Q2 FY2025. Domestic sales accounted for 14,53,045 units, increasing by 2.15 percent, whereas exports increased by a phenomenal 19.54 percent to 1,65,358 units. These findings highlight the brand’s robust positioning in international markets, which remain ahead of the comparatively sluggish growth in India.
But the April to September 2025 year-to-date figures paint a different picture. HMSI has sold 29,91,024 units in these six months, down 3.94 percent from 31,13,596 units in the same period last year. Domestic sales declined by 5.54 percent to 26,79,507 units, while exports increased by 12.51 percent to 3,11,517 units. The dip in YTD sales is mainly due to weaker momentum in India, but with festive demand returning and GST reforms offering relief to consumers, the coming months are likely to be better.
Road Safety and CSR Initiatives
Honda has traditionally marketed itself as a maker of motorcycles and scooters but also something more. In September 2025, the company renewed its campaigns for road safety in 13 Indian cities such as Mumbai, Agra, Tirupati, Trivandrum, and Ahmedabad. The campaign was participative and aimed at sensitizing citizens regarding safe road behavior.
Complementing this, Honda also marked anniversaries of its Safety Driving Education Centres in Vizag, Kozhikode, and Vijayawada. These centres provide the launchpads for encouraging safer riding habits, particularly among new riders and novice buyers of two-wheelers.
On the corporate social responsibility (CSR) side, Honda India Foundation donated 50 specially customized Quick Response Team (QRT) vehicles to the Gujarat Police. This project, under the ‘Sadak Sahayak: Surakshit Marg, Surakshit Jiwan’ initiative, supports Honda’s global vision of creating a collision-free society by 2050. These vehicles will facilitate enhanced emergency response and road safety infrastructure across the state.
Product Launches and Customer Experience
September 2025 also marked something important for Honda in terms of products. The manufacturer brought the all-new CB350C Special Edition to market at Rs. 2.01 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). This retro-themed motorcycle in the premium 350cc segment is likely to appeal to fans seeking a mix of contemporary engineering with vintage design. The CB350C can be booked now through all Honda BigWing dealerships across the nation.
Moreover, Honda launched the ‘MyHonda-India’ mobile app. The platform is focused on increasing customer interaction through an ownership experience that is smooth and transparent. From bookings for service to product details and real-time information, the app is intended to provide convenience and digital access to Honda’s customers.
Participation in Motorsports
HMSI was also in the thick of things in motorsports last September. The company was part of MotoGP rounds in Catalonia, San Marino, and Japan, expressing its competitive zeal at the international level. Locally, Round 3 of the 2025 IDEMITSU Honda India Talent Cup CB300F in Chennai was a showcase of Honda’s dedication to developing local motorsport talent.
Outlook for the Coming Months
With the holiday season underway, domestic two-wheeler demand is likely to pick up. The launch of GST 2.0 has also given a supporting environment to consumer spending. Although growth is likely to be supported by exports, Honda is also looking to bolster its product portfolio and increase its presence in the premium segment.
Road safety campaigns and CSR initiatives support the brand image of the company as a socially responsible one, while a digital platform launch such as that of the MyHonda-India app speaks to its flexibility in response to shifting customer behavior. Both sets of initiatives place HMSI firmly for the balance of FY2026.
Conclusion
The Honda 2W Sales September 2025 report presents a balanced tale of growth for the company. Domestic sales are stable while exports have become a strong growth pillar, ensuring HMSI registers positive figures despite tough times in the Indian market. Supported by its safety campaigns, new product introductions, and sustained emphasis on high-end motorcycles, Honda is preparing for a better festive season and a more optimistic scenario for the remainder of the financial year.
