India's scooter makers dispatch a record 995,576 units in September, up 34% YoY, as Honda leads ahead of Diwali

Our read

Honda will probably keep the scooter lead through Diwali, but October dispatches are more likely to cool than repeat September's record 995,576.

For operators

Ten scooter OEMs pushed a record 995,576 units into dealers in September, up 34% YoY, ahead of Diwali in the second week of November, so dealers must turn that stocked inventory into retail sales over the festive weeks.

Watch

October scooter dispatches below September's 995,576, in the October dispatch data, would mean stocking was front-loaded and dealers carry inventory into Diwali.

The report,

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India led with 383,035 units, ahead of TVS on 277,115. The total includes 186,692 e-scooters, and 10 OEMs stocked dealers before Diwali in the second week of November.
