Scooters over 30% of India's two-wheeler sales? Of course, if you ask me. Ease, convenience, speed in the city - nothing beats this trio. Even with EV buzz leading the conversation, the solid popularity of manageable engine-powered scooters isn't shaken. With 5 new models in the first half alone, you can feel the market's heat.

Persistent scooter demand is proof that commuting and short-distance travel are central to daily life there.

I'm curious which brands actually make up the 5-bike lineup.

Roundups like this usually tend to center on Honda, TVS, and Bajaj, I'd think.

Even with all the talk of electrification, gas-powered scooters still being the mainstay is the interesting part of the real market trend.

Scooters making up over 30% of total sales is a pretty huge share of the Indian market's makeup.

With over 30% share, it's only natural every manufacturer is putting effort into launching new models.
