Hero (4,19,243 Units)

Hero MotoCorp held on to its number one place in the market, though it faced a sharp fall of 26.52% from the 5,70,520 units sold in November 2025, a month boosted by festivals. 

On the other hand, sales grew by a strong 42.53% compared to 2,94,152 units in December 2024. The company also saw higher exports at 37,236 units last month, up from 33,970 units in the previous month.

Hero recently upgraded its sporty 160cc model, the Xtreme 160R 4V, with a fresh look and first-in-class features like cruise control, ride-by-wire throttle, and three riding modes.

Honda (3,92,306 units)

Still, it showed a rise of 44.81% over the 2,70,919 units from December 2024. Exports dipped a bit to 53,742 units in December, down from 57,491 units in November.

Honda plans to bring the Rebel 300 to the Indian market later this year. It is also developing a new electric scooter made for local needs, aiming to fix issues from its earlier electric models.

TVS (3,30,362 Units)

Like the top two brands, TVS had a decrease of 9.64% from its November 2025 sales of 3,65,608 units. 

However, it posted a large growth of 53.60% compared to 2,15,075 units in December 2024. As the second biggest exporter of two-wheelers in India, TVS shipped 1,30,709 units abroad in December, a small drop from 1,32,233 units in November. 

Note that TVS keeps sales of its popular iQube electric scooter separate from this total.

TVS recently added a new version to its Ronin series called the Agonda Edition. It will soon increase deliveries of its Apache RTX 300 adventure motorcycle.

Bajaj (1,32,228 Units)

Bajaj Chetak

Bajaj followed the pattern of others with a large decline of 34.71% from 2,02,510 units in November 2025, but it had a slight increase of 3.03% over 1,28,335 units from December 2024. 

This figure includes sales of the Chetak electric scooter, a top seller in the EV space. Bajaj leads in exports with 1,78,125 units sent out in December, a minor rise from 1,77,204 units in November.

Bajaj added some updates to its Classic Pulsar lineup lately. These models are set for a full redesign later in the year.

Unlike other manufacturers, Suzuki saw a small gain of 1.52% over its November 2025 sales of 96,360 units. 

It also grew by 24.09% compared to 78,834 units in December 2024. Exports fell a little to 24,543 units in December from 25,940 units in November.

Suzuki is preparing a completely new Gixxer range, set to launch at the end of 2026. The much-awaited e-Access electric scooter is also expected to arrive soon.

Royal Enfield (93,177 Units)

Royal Enfield Bullet 650

Royal Enfield too rose 3.07% from 90,405 units in November 2025. 

It also increased by 37.24% year-on-year over 67,891 units from December 2024. Exports went up slightly to 10,397 units in December from 10,265 units in November.

Royal Enfield may soon launch the Bullet 650, while Classic 350, Bullet 350, and Goan Classic 350 could be upgraded with the slip and assist clutch found on other models.

Most brands, except Suzuki and Royal Enfield, ended 2025 with lower sales than in November, but the year-on-year growth from December 2024 was positive for all.
