Hero MotoCorp led with 12,59,463 registrations across the period, ahead of Honda 2W (HMSI) on 11,16,245. These are each manufacturer's total across every vehicle type it sells, so they are whole-company registrations.

Of the 3 comparable windows in our record, Q4 FY 2025-26 is the largest at 81,93,699 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.
