Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has revealed its Honda Activa sales data for July 2025, and the numbers tell an intriguing story. While the Activa continues to dominate as one of India’s most trusted scooters, the rise of other models like the Shine, CB350, Dio, and Hornet shows that Honda’s customer base is diversifying rapidly.
Is Honda Activa still ruling the roads, or is its crown slipping?

Why Is Honda Activa Seeing a Dip in Dominance?
- Rise in Electric Scooters like Ola S1 Pro, TVS iQube, and Ather 450X.
- Increased fuel prices pushing buyers towards fuel-efficient alternatives.
- Market shift towards gearless + tech-loaded scooters.
- Stiff competition from Hero Pleasure+, Jupiter, and Yamaha RayZR.
Is Honda Activa Still Relevant in 2025?
Absolutely yes — but it needs to evolve. While it still leads in:
- Reliability & resale value
- Pan-India servicing & parts
- Comfort-focused riding
…it’s facing pressure from more feature-loaded, stylish scooters and electric alternatives.
Final Take: Time for Honda to Reinvent the Activa?
With over 2 crore units sold till date, the Activa is a legend, no doubt. But in a rapidly evolving 2-wheeler market, legacy alone won’t be enough. Honda must integrate tech, safety, and EV innovations if it wants Activa to stay on the throne.
The king is still in the game — but the challengers are rising.
