From a market perspective, what's really striking is that India's motorcycle sales keep growing year over year. This isn't a stage of fretting over small monthly ups and downs, it's the world's largest market expanding structurally. Including the way electric players like Ather and Ola are cutting into established names like Hero and Honda, I feel all over again that this is where the world's center of gravity sits.

A market structure with a diverse set of manufacturers competing means plenty of choice for consumers, which is a good thing.

Electric players now showing up alongside the established giants in the rankings really symbolizes how the market's shifting.

Didn't realize India was actually the world's largest motorcycle market — surprising.

By unit volume, it's probably been one of the world's largest markets, surpassing China, for a while now.

A small dip is still a dip, so it's worth watching whether this trend continues.

Could be seasonal factors like the rainy season at play too, so it's probably best to judge based on next month's numbers.

Ather and Ola getting named alongside the major established players is proof that electric's presence is becoming the real deal.

Hero holding a stable lead really speaks to its deep-rooted strength in the Indian market.

Solid year-over-year but a small month-over-month dip — curious whether that's seasonal or just a temporary adjustment.
