Top 10 selling scooters in October 2016 encountered Yamaha Ray recording a phenomenal 194 percent YoY sales rise
Honda Activa continued its dominance in the Indian scooter industry as 2,50,681 units were recorded in the month of October 2016. The significance of the nimble scooter for the Japanese brand can be explained by the fact that more than half of Honda’s total sales last month came courtesy of the Activa. Helping Honda to reach 8.91 percent growth, the Activa saw 6 percent YoY for itself.
TVS Motor Company’s Jupiter was positioned at second place. Despite registering one-fourth of Activa’s total sales, the Jupiter managed to keep a sizeable gap to its nearest rivals. The Hero Maestro encountered a massive fall of 32 percent as 45,018 deliveries were made against 65,786 units in the same month last year.
