Electric Scooters Are Growing Rapidly
One of the most important trends in July 2026 was the rapid increase in electric scooter sales.
TVS iQube recorded nearly 59,400 units, while Bajaj Chetak crossed 47,000 units. Ather Rizta also crossed 24,000 units. At the broader industry level, electric two-wheeler registrations reached 173,294 units in July, up 68% year-on-year according to Vahan-based reporting.
This shows that the Indian scooter market is no longer dominated exclusively by petrol models. Electric scooters are increasingly competing directly with established petrol scooters on sales volume.
Activa Still Leads, But Competition Is Increasing
Honda Activa remains the undisputed leader, but the July numbers show an interesting change in the market.
Activa’s sales declined by more than 13% year-on-year, while Jupiter grew by almost 19%. Suzuki Access also recorded more than 21% growth. At the same time, electric models such as iQube and Chetak posted triple-digit growth.
This means the scooter market is becoming more competitive across both ICE and EV categories.
What July 2026 Sales Tell Us
The July 2026 rankings reveal three major trends:
First, Honda Activa remains the market leader. Its huge sales volume gives it a significant advantage over every other scooter.
Second, TVS Jupiter and Suzuki Access continue to grow. Both models recorded healthy year-on-year increases and strengthened their positions.
Third, electric scooters are gaining momentum quickly. TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak posted extraordinary growth rates, while Ather Rizta also more than doubled its year-on-year volume.
The wider scooter industry is also experiencing strong growth. In the first half of 2026, India’s scooter industry recorded 44.2 lakh wholesale units, up 33% year-on-year, while scooters accounted for around 39% of India’s two-wheeler sales.
Final Verdict
The July 2026 scooter sales ranking confirms that Honda Activa is still India’s number-one scooter, but the market is changing rapidly. TVS Jupiter and Suzuki Access continue to strengthen their positions, while TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Ather Rizta demonstrate the rising popularity of electric mobility.
The biggest takeaway is the explosive growth of EV scooters. If this trend continues, electric models could occupy an even larger share of India’s top-selling scooter rankings in the coming months.
