ICRA, a leading investment information and credit rating agency, estimates that two-wheeler sales volume in India will grow between 6 percent to 9 percent YoY in FY2026.

The company stated that in April 2025, the domestic two-wheeler wholesales came at 1.39 million units, which was 18.8 percent lower, on the back of production shutdown undertaken by some OEMs for supply chain alignment and scheduled maintenance.

On the other hand, the retail sales remain steady registering a growth of 2 percent for the same period. The offtake was supported by the festive season (Chaitra Navratri, Akshay Tritiya, Baisakhi), which also translated to a sequential growth of around 12 percent.

Interestingly, it points out that electric two-wheelers continue to register a strong growth and maintain its 5-6 percent penetration in the overall two-wheeler sales. For instance, in March a total of 130,274 electric two-wheelers were sold, up 71 percent MoM. Similarly, the electric two-wheeler sales also saw moderation to 91,800 units last month.

On the export front, ICRA estimates that two-wheeler sales volumes reported a healthy growth of 14.8 percent on a partially curtailed base. But despite the growth, the volumes continue to be constrained to an extent by shortage of FOREX and inflationary pressures in markets catered (such as Nigeria).

Going forward, the company expects that two-wheeler sales will remain to grow albeit in single-digit percentage, primarily aided by steady replacement demand, expected recovery in urban demand and healthy rural incomes (driven by early indications of a normal monsoon).
