Activa was even the best selling product in the two wheeler space for a long time, easily selling above 2 lakh units every month last year.

Sharing highlights of the sales performance in 2016-17, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, senior vice-president (sales and marketing), said, “Early in FY’16-17, especially after the monsoon and 7th CPC, industry was hopeful of double-digit growth. The second half was, however, a challenging time and the two-wheeler industry closed the fiscal with only 5 percent growth. Honda is today the highest volume gainer as well as the market share gainer of the industry.”
