Auto Punditz Take
August’s figures show that Activa and Jupiter continued to deliver the largest volumes, while electric scooters contributed disproportionately to growth. Chetak’s increase alone exceeded the combined gains of Activa, Jupiter and Access.
Established leaders retain their scale advantage, but electric entries are becoming more significant volume contributors. These shares apply specifically to the supplied top 10 list and do not represent India’s entire scooter market.
