TVS Motor Company recorded total global two-wheeler sales of 565,417 units in June 2026, positioning the manufacturer ahead of both Hero MotoCorp and Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) in combined wholesale volumes. While domestic sales saw TVS rank third behind its main competitors, a substantial international shipping footprint altered the overall volume rankings.

According to consolidated market data, TVS exported 154,403 scooters and motorcycles last month. In comparison, international shipments for the same period stood at 59,325 units for Honda and 38,269 units for Hero. Backed by this export performance, TVS's total combined volume expanded 47 percent year-on-year compared to June 2025. Honda also posted total volume growth of 26 percent to reach 528,281 units, while Hero reported a 2.3 percent decline, finishing at 541,159 combined units.

In the core domestic market, Hero MotoCorp maintained its top operational position by dispatching 502,890 units, inclusive of its electric vehicle arm, Vida. However, Hero's domestic wholesales registered a 4.24 percent year-on-year drop from the 525,136 units recorded in June 2025, alongside a 6.31 percent sequential decline from May 2026. Honda retained the runner-up position locally, reporting domestic wholesales of 468,956 units, which represents a 20.61 percent increase over the 388,812 units sold in June 2025.

TVS Motor Company crossed the 4 lakh domestic sales threshold for the first time, delivering 411,014 units within the Indian market. This domestic volume marks a 46.26 percent increase against the 281,012 units recorded in June 2025, and a 6.88 percent sequential increase from May 2026. Notably, these figures exclude the manufacturer's electric vehicle line, which is led by its iQube model.

On the product and network front, Hero updated its Passion+ and Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 commuter lines during the month, while expanding its export dispatches from 33,284 units in May. Honda's export volumes remained largely flat sequentially against May's 59,166 units. TVS experienced a minor sequential dip in exports from May's 158,546 units, during a period where the firm updated its Ntorq 125 color trims and continued initial work on its premium Paddock dealership infrastructure ahead of planned product introductions from its Norton subsidiary.
