The Success Story of India’s No.1 Scooter
The first Honda Activa hit the Indian roads in 2001. At that time, scooters were still considered family rides, but Activa changed everything. It brought a perfect mix of reliability, comfort, and fuel efficiency, making it a scooter that everyone could depend on.
More than 35 million units later, Activa has become more than a two-wheeler. It’s a part of Indian life. From office commutes to college rides and grocery runs, Activa has been a dependable partner for millions.
According to Times of India, despite new entrants and rising competition, Activa continues to dominate the Indian scooter segment.
