Robust March sales growth

For March 2026, HMSI reported total sales of 5.49 lakh units, marking a strong 29% growth compared to March 2025. This includes 5.12 lakh units in domestic sales and 36,842 units in exports during the month.

The company stated that it remains committed to enhancing competitiveness and delivering value-driven products and services across its 7,000  customer touchpoints.

Strategic entry into off-road racing

HMSI announced a strategic realignment of its motorsports programme, marking its focused entry into off-road racing in India.

This move aligns with Honda’s global leadership in rally, motocross, and endurance racing, and reflects HMSI’s long-term vision to support emerging motorsport formats.

Legacy in Indian motorsport

Over the past 18 years, HMSI has played a key role in developing India’s motorcycle racing ecosystem.

The company introduced the Honda One Make Race in 2008 and has actively participated in national championships such as the Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship.

It has also invested in rider development through advanced platforms, including training on the NSF250R Moto3-spec machine.

HMSI has further supported Indian riders in international programmes such as the Honda Asia Dream Cup, Thailand Talent Cup, and the Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC).

Rising popularity of off-road racing

Off-road racing in India is witnessing growing popularity due to its high entertainment value and accessibility, attracting a broader and more diverse audience.

With motorsport interest increasingly shifting towards rally, supercross, and dirt-based formats, HMSI is expanding its presence in off-road racing while gradually transitioning from circuit racing activities.

Focus on future mobility and product strategy

As part of this strategic shift, HMSI is evaluating the expansion of its product lineup with a greater focus on adventure and off-road-capable motorcycles.

This aligns with the rising interest in all-terrain riding among Indian consumers.
