Among the top 10 motorcycles, only one model reported negative growth. TVS Raider dropped to 29,064 units from 43,028 units last year. This resulted in a 32.45% decline, making it the weakest performer among leading motorcycles.
The surprise performer of the month was Hero Glamour. Sales jumped from just 4,941 units to 26,573 units. That translated into an exceptional 437.81% growth, the highest percentage increase among all motorcycles in the ranking.
April 2026 proved once again that motorcycles remain India’s strongest two-wheeler category. While Hero Splendor continued its dominance, models such as HF Deluxe, Classic 350 and Glamour delivered standout performances.
At the same time, premium motorcycles maintained momentum and commuter products continued driving industry volumes. With more launches expected later this year, competition in India’s motorcycle market is likely to become even more intense.
