Hero Splendor Continues as Best-Selling Two-Wheeler in Oct 2025

Hero Splendor was the numero-uno two-wheeler model in Oct 2025 sales with over 3.40 lakh units in the domestic market

Hero Splendor was the highest-selling two-wheeler in Oct 2025 in the Indian market. Despite witnessing a YoY de-growth of 13.15 percent, it topped the sales charts last month with 3,40,131 units as compared to 3,91,612 units in Oct 2024. The overall sales of top 10 two-wheelers was 14,67,944 units in Oct 2025 with a YoY growth of 2.6 percent against the 14,38,337 units retailed during the same period last year. This rise in sales was predominantly due to reduced prices of two-wheeler models with engine capacity below 350cc because of the cut in GST rates from existing 28 percent to 18 percent.

The total two-wheeler sales of top 10 models stood at 14,62,687 units in Sep 2025, and hence MoM growth was also achieved in Oct 2025. Hero Splendor continued to dominate at the top with a massive market share of 23.17 percent. If we compare the Oct 2025 and Oct 2024 sales data, volumes dipped by 51,481 units but still the Splendor retained the pole position.
