Salient points
- Motorcycle sales with a 150-200 cc engine capacity decreased by 9 % in the tax year 2025, reflecting a wider trend in slowing consumption in urban markets.
- Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor Company and Yamaha India are optimistic about a recovery in the segment of motorcycles due to improvements in the macroeconomic environment and launches of new planned models.
- Sales of bicycles for commuters with engine capacity up to 150 cc grew by 6.4 percent in the tax year 2025, mainly driven by demand from rural areas and entry-level buyers in urban centers.
Motorcycle sales with a 150-200 cc engine capacity, purchased mainly in the larger metropolises in India, decreased by 9 % in exercise 25, reflecting the sales of FMCG which were also affected by the slowdown of consumption in urban markets, as well as customers who have not been enthusiastic about the models offered.Things haven’t improved much since then.
Sales of these bicycles decreased by 31 % to 94,489 units in April, the only month for which Society of Indian Automobile producers (Siam) are available. However, Bajaj Auto, TVS and Yamaha India are bet that the segment will recover in the midst of an improvement in the macroeconomic environment in the coming months apart from the new launches of the model. To tell the truth, the volumes in the wider two -wheeled industry were also affected in April.
This is due to the lower production between companies, falling by 16.7 percent to 1.46 million units. The demand for 150-200 cc motorcycles has fallen from December, said the president of the Yamaha India Itaru Otani group. “There have been not many new launches in this segment to excite the buyers,” he said.
“In addition, the inflationary pressure, the macroeconomic uncertainties and volatile share markets have influenced the question.”
Sales of bicycles for the pendulars-capacity of the engine up to 150 cc-snawhere and grew by 6.4 percent to 9.98 million units in exercise 25, largely guided by the demand by rural areas and entry-level buyers in urban centers. Those of 150-200 cc motorcycles in the above segment dropped by 8.9 percent to 1.1 million units. These machines had been considered the probability of taking the cloak of the commuter bicycles of India while buyers traded with more powerful engines.
In fact, even larger bicycles with a motor capacity up to 200 cc grew faster than 10.4 percent at 1.17 million units in exercise 25. A total of motorcycles sales increased by 5.1 percent to 12.25 million units in this period.
Experts said that the growing expenses in the midst of the increase in food prices, educational costs and doctors, fluctuations in the share market and silent salary increases squeezed US income, by cutting discretionary purchases among the larger categories in largest cities.
It is likely that the momentum in the recovering segment only July-August, since the inflationary pressures train further and the young aspirational buyers of India have money to spend.
