Two-Wheeler sales month by month, FY 2026-27

India's two-wheeler market registered 1,10,53,895 two-wheelers in FY 2026-27 so far. Volumes rose sharply 20.5% against the 91,69,811 logged over the same 6 months of FY 2025-26.

April was the strongest month of the period at 19,90,617 two-wheelers and August the quietest at 17,27,455, an average of 18,42,316 a month. Every one of those 6 months grew on the same month a year earlier.

FY 2026-27 still has 6 months to run. Held at the pace of the 6 months already counted, it would finish near 2.21 Cr two-wheelers — a run rate rather than a forecast, and the festive quarter moves it more than anything else on this page.

Two-wheelers accounted for 71.0% of everything registered in India over the period, down from 71.2% in FY 2025-26. The whole market ran to 1,55,77,870 vehicles over the same window, up 20.9% year on year.

What two-wheelers run on

Vahan splits a segment by fuel only across a whole calendar year, so this table covers 2026 year to date rather than FY 2026-27 alone — it is exact for that window.

Petrol accounts for 90.5% of two-wheeler registrations over 2026 year to date, with battery-electric at 9.4%.

Two-Wheeler sales by financial year

Across the 2 completed windows in our Vahan record, two-wheeler registrations went from 1,95,92,209 in FY 2024-25 to 2,21,64,882 in FY 2025-26, up 13.1% over the stretch.

FY 2026-27 is still running — 6 of its 12 months are counted — so it is a part window and is never set against a full one. Its year-on-year figure compares only the months it actually holds.

What will full-year FY 2026-27 two-wheeler sales be?
We do not forecast. At the pace of the 6 months already counted, FY 2026-27 would finish near 2,21,07,790 two-wheelers, but the festive quarter swings that number more than any other factor — this page is updated as each month closes.
Which financial year had the highest two-wheeler sales?
Of the 3 comparable windows in our record, FY 2025-26 is the largest at 2,21,64,882 registrations.
Are these retail sales or factory dispatches?
Retail. Every figure is a vehicle registration recorded on the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard — the same source FADA uses — not the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce each month. Registrations reach Vahan a few days after the sale, so recent months keep rising slightly for a while after they close.
