Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI) is celebrating a highly successful month, having just released their total sales figures for May 2026. The two-wheeler giant managed to shift a massive 5.18 Lakh units (specifically 5,18,777 units) over the course of the month. When compared to the 4.65 Lakh units (4,65,109 units) they sold back in May 2025, that marks a very healthy 12% year-on-year growth for the brand.
It looks like the two-wheeler market witnessed steady demand throughout May, and HMSI managed to capitalise on it beautifully. Let’s take a closer look at how those numbers split between the home market and overseas shipments.
Domestic Sales and Exports Both See Strong Gains
The positive trend was visible across both local showrooms and international markets, with both segments posting double-digit growth.
- Domestic Market: On the home front, local demand stayed incredibly solid. Domestic sales stood at 4.59 Lakh units (officially 4,59,611 units) in May 2026. This represents a crisp 10% growth over the 4.17 Lakh units (4,17,250 units) that the manufacturer sold in the corresponding month last year.
- Exports Market: Things were even more dramatic on the international side of operations. Exports stood at 0.59 Lakh units (specifically 59,166 units) in May 2026. That equates to an impressive 24% growth compared to the 0.47 Lakh units (47,859 units) exported back in May 2025.
