Honda Activa Records 5 Million Sales in Maharashtra

Honda Activa is not only the highest-selling scooter in India but overall the best-selling two-wheeler in India for more than two decades now. Since its launch 25 years ago, Honda has sold more than 35 million units of the Activa across the country. And now, the Japanese brand has unlocked yet another significant achievement.

Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) has registered 5 million unit sales of Activa in the state of Maharashtra. This milestone is driven by strong demand for the scooter in major urban centres of Maharashtra including Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Nashik, and Navi Mumbai. 

These cities continue to shape mobility trends, with two-wheelers remaining a practical and reliable choice for daily commuting. In Maharashtra, the Activa’s growth is driven by a broad customer base supported by more than 700 sales and service touchpoints across the state. This extensive network ensures easy ownership, dependable after-sales support, and sustained customer confidence.

Speaking on this milestone, Mutsuo Usui, Director - Sales & Marketing, HMSI said, “Crossing 5 million Activa sales in Maharashtra reflects the deep trust customers have placed in the brand over the past 25 years. Maharashtra remains one of the most dynamic markets and this achievement highlights how dependable mobility continues to shape everyday commuting. Our focus remains on strengthening customer experience, expanding reach, and ensuring Activa continues to meet the evolving expectations of riders across the state.”

According to Honda, Activa’s strong resale value and extensive service network have reinforced its enduring popularity. In Maharashtra, customers regard the scooter as a practical long-term investment that balances performance, efficiency, and ease of ownership. Its suitability for both urban commutes and semi-urban use further enhances its appeal.
