March 2025 was a big month for some of the bikes in terms of sales in India. Based on SIAM data, Hero Splendor Plus and HF Deluxe continue to dominate the commuter market. Both Honda and TVS saw immense growth with their top models. Despite a decrease, the Bajaj Pulsar remains a popular choice for sporty commuters. Let’s take a look at their sales numbers.
Hero Splendor Plus
The Hero Splendor Plus continues to rule the sales chart. It remains India’s top-selling bike for a reason, which is excellent mileage and low maintenance cost. In March 2025, the brand sold 3,01,584 units of the Splendor Plus with a 10.79% increase in YoY sales. The major reason for this jump in sales could be the Holi season and the updated OBD-2B compliant engine. Additionally, the MoM sales also saw a massive 55.63% rise, making this bike the real winner of March.
Honda Shine 125
The Honda Shine 125 continues to lead the 125cc segment. This bike is popular for its smooth engine, solid build quality, and comfort. Honda sold 1,35,383 Shine bikes in March 2025. This is a 12.77% rise in YoY sales. However, there was a small 2.74% dip in MoM sales. The updated OBD-2B version, launched in February, could help boost future numbers.
Hero HF Deluxe
Hero’s HF Deluxe holds a strong position in the budget bike segment. It shares its engine with the Splendor Plus but has a different design. Hero sold 91,821 units of the HF Deluxe in March 2025. This marks a 9.37% YoY and 30.09% MoM growth. Its variant, the HF100, is the most affordable Hero bike in India, which makes the HF series a top choice in rural areas.
Bajaj Pulsar 125 Range
Bajaj’s Pulsar 125 range includes the Pulsar 125, NS125, and the new N125. These bikes are known for their sporty design and decent mileage. Bajaj sold 67,044 units in March 2025. However, this was a 7.81% drop in year-on-year sales. Month-on-month sales also dipped by 24.69%. Despite this fall, the Pulsar range remains competitive due to its multiple variants and appeal among young riders.
TVS Apache Series (160cc–200cc)
TVS Apache bikes in the 150cc–200cc range remain in demand. Models like the Apache RTR 160, 160 4V, 180, and 200 4V are included here. In March 2025, TVS sold 44,214 units of this series. This is a 29.14% increase in year-on-year sales. Month-on-month numbers also improved by 16.49%. The Apache series is popular among young riders for its features, power, and value-for-money pricing.
