The Austria-based two-wheeler brand sold a total of 16,411 units last month, including exports, in the Indian market
KTM India has begun 2026 fairly well with sales surpassing 16k units in the first month of the new year. The company registered overall sales volumes of 16,411 units in Jan 2026 which includes domestic numbers as well as exports. It registered an exceptional YoY growth of 143.70 percent as the total sales stood at 6,734 units in Jan 2025. The industry insiders and analysts consider GST 2.0 as one of the foremost contributors in this rise in sales as the prices of KTM bikes with engine capacity below 350cc were slashed and hence they became more affordable and accessible to the buyers.
As far as domestic market is concerned, KTM came close to retailing 10k units in Jan 2026 as the final tally stood at 9,568 units against 6,128 units in Jan 2025. Hence, it marked an impressive YoY growth of 56.14 percent. The MoM sales growth was even better at 70.16 percent as the brand had managed to retail 5,623 units in Dec 2025 in the Indian market.

Coming to the 390 range of motorcycles, which has RC, Duke and Adventure, the company sold a total of 1,154 units in Jan 2026 which is up from 362 units retailed in Jan 2025. The company’s 390cc bikes became quite expensive after the roll out of GST 2.0 in Sep 2025 due to increased tax rate. However, despite the price hike, the YoY sales grew by more than 218 percent.
KTM 390 range consists of four adventure models in the form of the 390 Adventure X, 390 Adventure, 390 Adventure R and 390 Enduro R. All of these bikes are locally manufactured in India by Bajaj Auto at its Chakan production facility in Pune. KTM 390 Adventure range is priced between Rs 3.26-3.97 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) in the Indian market.
Earlier, KTM also used to retail the Duke 125 and RC 125 in India, which were its entry-level motorcycles. However, both these models were discontinued in April 2025 due to poor sales. Now, the Duke 160 and RC 160 have replaced these motorcycles as the brand’s base models in the domestic market.
