2W dispatches see modest June growth, OEMs show mixed trends
New Delhi: Two-wheeler wholesales posted a modest single-digit year-on-year (YoY) growth in June, supported by demand from auspicious marriage dates and sustained momentum in rural markets. However, performance varied across companies, with some OEMs registering a double-digit growth while some witnessed a decline. According to Kumar Rakesh, Analyst of IT & Auto at BNP Paribas India, domestic two-wheeler dispatches grew by approximately 4 per cent YoY, largely mirroring trends seen in retail sales. Market leader Hero MotoCorp reported a 7 per cent YoY increase in dispatches to its dealers, reaching 5.25 lakh units. In contrast, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) registered a sharp 20 per cent decline, with 3.88 lakh units dispatched during the month. A recent HSBC Global Research report highlights that June 2025 featured more auspicious marriage days compared to the same period last year, which could have provided a temporary boost to demand. The report also notes that upcoming ABS regulations for entry-level two-wheelers could result in front-loaded dispatches by OEMs in the latter part of the fiscal year.

It also launched the Apache RTR 200 4V and RTR 160 during the month. In contrast, Bajaj Auto witnessed a 16 per cent decline in wholesales compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, Royal Enfield registered a 16 per cent YoY growth in dispatches, driven by demand for the premium motorcycle categories. It also increased the price of its entry-level Bullet 350 by ₹3,000. Suzuki Motorcycle India, the Indian two-wheeler arm of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, reported a 4 per cent YoY growth in its domestic dispatches for June. ICRA has a forecast of wholesale volume growth for the industry at 6-9 per cent in FY2026, aided by steady replacement demand, expected recovery in urban demand and healthy rural incomes driven by expectations of a normal monsoon EV Demand In the EV segment, legacy ICE players are leading the charge. After securing the top position in electric two-wheeler sales in May, TVS retained its lead in June with 25,274 units sold, driven by sustained demand for its iQube scooter. The company outpaced Bajaj Auto, which reported 23,004 units, while Ola Electric took third place with 20,189 units. TVS acknowledged ongoing supply chain disruptions, particularly around rare earth magnet availability, which could continue to impact production in the short to medium term. In June, Hyundai Motor Company divested its entire stake in Ola Electric, while fellow South Korean automaker Kia Motors pared down its holding. The combined stake sale amounted to ₹6.89 billion ($80 million), signaling a strategic exit or recalibration by the two OEMs in the EV startup. Commenting on the broader EV market trends , Rakesh noted that June witnessed significant price recalibrations across models, following the recent reduction in FAME-II subsidies, alongside the rollout of OBD-2B compliant vehicles. During the month, Bajaj Auto introduced a new entry-level variant of the Chetak electric scooter, priced at ₹99,990, targeting the growing segment of price-sensitive EV buyers. Meanwhile, Hero MotoCorp, which ranked fifth in sales, just behind Ather Energy, announced plans to launch its affordable Vida VX2 model, coupled with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) offering, which rolled out on July 1. On the demand side, Maharashtra and Karnataka continued to lead EV adoption, together accounting for nearly one-third of electric two-wheeler sales in the country.
