The Indian scooter market witnessed a strong performance in July 2025, with overall sales in the top 10 scooters touching 5,85,418 units, a healthy 16% year-on-year growth. While Honda Activa once again cemented its place as the undisputed leader, the real surprise came from Hero Destini 125, which registered a massive three-fold jump in sales.
Let’s take a closer look at the sales chart of India’s most popular scooters.
Honda Activa: Still the King of Scooters
The Honda Activa continues to dominate the market with a stellar performance. In July 2025, it sold 2,37,413 units, marking a 21.37% growth compared to last year’s 1,95,604 units. This jump of nearly 42,000 units shows why the Activa remains the go-to choice for families and daily commuters alike.
TVS Jupiter: Rapid Growth Story
Securing second place, the TVS Jupiter surprised many with an impressive 67.25% year-on-year growth. The scooter sold 1,24,876 units, compared to 74,663 units in July 2024, adding over 50,000 new buyers. Its balance of comfort, practicality, and value-for-money pricing has clearly struck the right chord with Indian consumers.
Suzuki Access: Losing Ground
The Suzuki Access 125, a long-time favorite among buyers, saw a slight dip. Sales stood at 68,172 units, down 4.32% from last year’s 71,247 units. Despite the decline, Access remains a strong contender in the 125cc segment, thanks to its refined engine and reliability.
Honda Dio: Once Trendy, Now Struggling
Once a cult scooter among younger riders, the Honda Dio is showing signs of fatigue. Sales dropped 16.49%, falling to 27,951 units from 33,472 units last year. The slowdown suggests Honda may need to refresh the Dio to appeal to its core youth audience again.

Hero Destini 125: The Biggest Surprise

This unexpected surge has placed Hero back in the spotlight in a segment where it had been struggling for years.
