With a population of 1.4 billion as of 2026, no doubt, the fact that India is the largest two-wheeler market in the entire world makes more sense now, right? According to the estimates, as many as 47% to 60% of people have two-wheelers in India right now, and that’s way more than the population of some big countries out there. But let’s say you were just feeling curious about this whole thing and want to know which are the actual brands that are selling the most two-wheelers and have the biggest market share. If that’s the case, then this will be a super interesting list because here we’re about to take a good look at the Top 10 Bike Brands in India By Market Share 2026. Here we go.
1. Hero MotoCorp
Well, before even you clicked on this post today, you pretty much knew that Hero would be at the top of this list because just look around you, every other two-wheeler or bike is from this brand in India, so that’s pretty obvious. Talking about actual numbers, the share market of this brand is about 40 to 42%, which has resulted in over 2.6 million motorcycles sold in just the first half of FY2026. Like, their Hero Splendor is already the world’s best-selling bike, and other than that, options like HF Deluxe and Passion are selling in millions as well, and that too, every single year.
2. Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India
Sure, Hero and Honda used to be one single company back in the days, but now, Honda is also giving good competition to its competitors, aka Hero. How? Well, sure, it does not have as high market share as Hero MotoCorp, but it still managed to grab about 16% market share in total. Giving you some numbers to compare, well, this brand sold somewhere around 1.24 million units in the first half of FY2026. Talking about their best-selling models, then you must know their motorcycles like Shine and Unicorn.
3. TVS Motor Company
Not just in India, but outside of India, TVS is doing an incredible job, like they’re among the most famous bike brands in other nations, too, like many countries in the African continent. Talking in the context of India only, see, they’re standing with a decent and pretty respectable market share of about 11% in total as of 2026. Sales number? Oh, as per the recent reports from TVS, they sold more than 680,000 motorcycles already in the first half of the year alone.
4. Bajaj Auto
In the ranking of 2026 Bajaj Auto is placed fourth and sold just under a million motorcycles in the first six months. Presently, the brand occupies about 16% market share and is one of the top players in India. Even if the sales of Bajaj decreased a bit in the local market, the company is still doing great due to its popular models such as Pulsar, Platina, and CT series. Furthermore, Bajaj’s export business is a big factor in its strength and is the reason behind the company’s stable production and smooth growth.
5. Royal Enfield
At number six, we have Royal Enfield, a brand that is the undisputed leader of the mid-size motorcycle segment. In the first half of FY2026 alone, Royal Enfield sales touched 5.2 lakh units with a growth of almost 27% year-on-year. Market share? That’s about 8% in total. Royal Enfield has its unique selling point in its powerful brand image and very loyal customer base. As for what is working super great for this brand, well, in that case, we must mention models like Classic 350, Bullet, Meteor, and Himalayan.
6. Suzuki Motorcycle India
Suzuki is at number five in our ranking based on the reliable and consistent performance of the brand all over India. By the way, the market share they hold is about 5.8% in total. In terms of sales volume, Suzuki is far behind the first four brands of motorcycles; however, it is performing very well in the scooter segment. Access 125 and Gixxer, for example, are two of the Suzuki models that keep on attracting customers because they are dependable and do not require a lot of money to be spent on their upkeep. Suzuki is thus, in fact, one of the five leading bike brands in India because it is a brand with a growing dealership network and stable demand.
7. Yamaha Motor India
Yamaha, yes, the bike brand that once was one of the most famous ones in North India is still on this list, but this time with a market share of just under 3% or so. Why a huge drop? Well, they have diversified quite a bit, and the competition has grown quite a lot. Those are two big reasons right there. As for numbers, they have sold 1.7 lakh units in H1 FY2026. Big and famous models’ names from them? Oh, those would be the R15 and MT-15.
8. Ola Electric
No doubt, Ola Electric is a new name in this niche, but the type of popularity they’re getting in india mainly because of the EV trend, it is just top-notch. Because of that, they’re able to secure just about 4 to 5% market share in total, and that too in a very small time frame.
9. Ather Energy
Staying once again in the EV segment, you must have seen Ather Energy’s EVs selling like crazy in India lately, and that’s pretty much the reason behind their 2 to 3% of market share. Why? Well, mainly because they offer a properly functioning EV bikes with decent quality, decent performance, and latest tech, and that too in a much more affordable price range.
10. KTM India
Sure, just a few years ago, we must have said that KTM is an Austrian company, but now, with Bajaj Auto having a big stake in this company, it is now under Indian control. And yes, even though their bikes are rare in the country, but still, they hold about 1 to 2% market share in total. Going a big more into that, well, their motorcycles, such as the Duke and the RC series, still draw fans who are in search of strong and sporty vehicles.
