Top Contenders and Market Dynamics
Honda Activa continued its longstanding dominance to secure the number one position in terms of overall volume, though its sales witnessed a decline compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, the TVS Jupiter delivered an exceptional performance, surging closer to the market leader to claim the second spot. Suzuki Access also maintained a strong growth trajectory to hold the third position. In the electric segment, models like the TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak recorded massive leaps, registering stellar year-on-year growth rates. With the majority of the top ten scooters posting positive growth for July, a detailed look at the model-wise sales report reveals fascinating shifts in buyer preferences.
Honda Activa Retains the Top Spot Despite a Dip
The Honda Activa remained the country's best-selling scooter in July 2026. The manufacturer retailed a total of 2,06,170 units during the month. However, this figure is lower than the 2,37,413 units sold in July 2025, representing a year-on-year decline of 31,243 units or approximately 13.16 percent. Despite this contraction, selling over two lakh units allowed the Activa to comfortably retain its leadership crown at the top of the sales charts.
TVS Jupiter Inches Closer to the Leader
Securing the second position with stellar numbers, the TVS Jupiter sold 1,48,595 units in July 2026. In comparison, the scooter had recorded sales of 1,24,876 units in July 2025, marking an addition of 23,719 units within a single year. This translates to a solid year-on-year growth rate of approximately 18.99 percent. The robust sales trajectory of the Jupiter has brought it remarkably close to the Activa, narrowing the gap between the top two contenders to just 57,575 units.
Suzuki Access Strengthens Its Third Place
Suzuki Access claimed the third spot in July 2026 by registering sales of 82,505 units. During the same month last year, the company had sold 68,172 units. This reflects an absolute increase of 14,333 units for the Access, amounting to a year-on-year growth of roughly 21.02 percent. Backed by this strong momentum, the Access solidified its position within the top three, standing firmly as the third highest-selling scooter right behind the Jupiter.
TVS iQube Leads the Electric Surge
Emerging as the frontrunner in the electric scooter segment for July 2026, the TVS iQube posted total sales of 59,386 units. This is a massive jump from the 23,029 units sold in July 2025, pointing to an absolute increase of 36,357 units. The model registered a staggering year-on-year growth of approximately 157.89 percent. This remarkable performance propelled the iQube to the fourth spot in the overall top ten rankings, underscoring the escalating demand for electric mobility across the nation.
Performance of Other Popular Scooters
