Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has crossed the sales milestone of 25 lakh units in the state of Telangana. The two-wheeler maker achieved the landmark figure in nearly two decades since it began operations in 2001 with the Honda Activa. Interestingly, the popular offering dominates the two-wheeler market in the state, with a 72 per cent market share in the scooter segment. The newfound need for personal mobility has further amplified two-wheeler sales for the brand in Telangana in recent times. Do note these are cumulative sales since the state of Telangana was formed in 2014 and was previously a part of Andhra Pradesh.

Overall, Honda's two-wheeler market share in the state stands at 38 per cent, which the company says translates to every third two-wheeler owner riding home a Honda motorcycle or scooter.
