The numbers speak for themselves. Total top-10 sales topped 1.26 million units, a clear increase from 1.17 million in the same month last year. From a market perspective, this confirms that demand for two-wheelers in India remains a growth engine for the world. The way staples like the Splendor and Activa provide such solid underlying support also, I think, reflects the strength of India and Southeast Asia well.

Nearly every model near the top is in the practical, budget-focused price range — really shows how price-sensitive the Indian market is.

The Jupiter's a scooter, right? In the same segment as the Activa — curious which one's actually more popular.

Saw multiple articles with the same top-10 data, and even the unit figures match down to the digit, so it seems like reliable statistics.

If the numbers match across multiple outlets, that means it's reliable data based on official statistics.

The Apache making the list shows TVS's determination — curious about the monthly rank shifts, including the direct fight with the Pulsar.

With the next-gen Pulsar's launch also coming up, worth watching how the rankings shift next month and beyond.
