India’s two-wheeler market is growing

Registrations see annual increase despite monthly decline

According to data from JATO Dynamics India, India recorded around 1.92 million two-wheeler registrations during April 2026. However, registrations declined by 2.3 percent compared to March 2026 after the fiscal year-end procurement period.

Commenting on the latest numbers, Ravi Bhatia, President, JATO Dynamics India Global Automotive Intelligence, Said, “April’s two-wheeler data reflects a mature and predictable market. The slight month-on-month decline is seasonal and expected. The year-on-year growth, on a higher base, is the real story and remains strongly sustained.”
