Suzuki Motorcycle India Reports 16% Sales Growth in May 2025
Suzuki Motorcycle India has reported an impressive 16% year-on-year sales growth for May 2025, showcasing the company’s consistent upward momentum in the competitive two-wheeler segment. Backed by strong demand for its scooters and motorcycles, the brand’s domestic and export sales both contributed to the growth story, solidifying its position in the Indian motorcycle market.
Suzuki e-Access Electric Scooter India Launch Set for June 2025: What to Expect
Sales Figures: May 2025 Overview
Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL) recorded sales of 96,567 units in May 2025, compared to 83,792 units in May 2024. This marks a 16% growth, a substantial figure considering the current market volatility and slowing demand in some segments of the auto sector.
- Domestic sales: 80,467 units
- Exports: 16,100 units
Both domestic and export markets showed healthy growth trends. The company attributes this success to strong product performance, improved supply chain logistics, and a growing dealer network.
Key Drivers Behind the Growth
1. Strong Scooter Demand
The Suzuki Access 125 continues to be a major volume driver, thanks to its refined engine, mileage, and family-friendly appeal. The recently introduced Suzuki e-Access—a premium electric scooter—has also started gaining traction in select urban markets ahead of its full rollout in June 2025.
2. Motorcycle Line-Up Refresh
Models like the Gixxer series, V-Strom SX, and Burgman Street 125 saw steady sales, supported by minor updates and fresh color schemes introduced earlier this year. These changes have helped the company maintain customer interest and brand recall.
3. Improved Rural Penetration
Suzuki has strengthened its dealership and service center presence in Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns. With more localized marketing and financing options, rural and semi-urban buyers are now more inclined toward reliable and efficient models like the Access 125 and Gixxer 150.
4. Positive Brand Sentiment
Suzuki’s recent digital campaigns, rider training programs, and CSR initiatives have improved brand engagement. The brand’s association with motorsports also enhances its aspirational value among young riders.
Official Statement from Suzuki Motorcycle India
Commenting on the milestone, Kenichi Umeda, Managing Director of Suzuki Motorcycle India, said:
“We are pleased to report a solid 16% growth in May 2025. Our consistent performance is a testament to our customers’ trust in Suzuki’s quality and value proposition. As we prepare to launch new EV models and strengthen our ICE portfolio, we are confident in continuing this growth trajectory.”
Future Plans: Electric & Expansion Strategy
Suzuki Motorcycle India has major plans in place for FY2025–26:
- Full-scale launch of the e-Access Electric Scooter in June 2025.
- Expansion of EV infrastructure via dealership-level charging stations.
- Increasing exports to ASEAN and Latin American markets.
- Introduction of new models in the 150cc and 250cc segments.
- Investment in a new production line at the Gurgaon facility to boost annual capacity.
These plans are expected to help Suzuki diversify its offerings while capturing emerging trends like EV adoption and mid-segment motorcycle demand.
Market Context: How Suzuki Stands Out
While the Indian two-wheeler market witnessed marginal overall growth in May 2025, not all manufacturers saw such robust numbers. Suzuki’s performance stands out, especially when some competitors struggled with flat or declining domestic sales.
A few notable factors contributing to Suzuki’s stronger performance:
- Focus on quality over quantity in product portfolio
- Aggressive localization strategies for cost optimization
- Digital-first approach for sales and service bookings
- Customer loyalty programs that boost long-term retention

Customer Feedback & Market Reception
Owners continue to praise Suzuki for:
- Refined engines and low maintenance costs
- Stylish designs suited for both city and highway riding
- Fuel efficiency of its 125cc and 150cc models
- Prompt after-sales support and service coverage
On the EV front, early adopters have shown excitement about the upcoming e-Access, citing Suzuki’s dependable legacy as a factor that instills trust in their electric mobility shift.
Conclusion
Suzuki Motorcycle India’s 16% sales growth in May 2025 is more than just a statistic—it is a reflection of strategic product planning, customer-centric initiatives, and a clear roadmap for future growth. With a strong foothold in both the ICE and emerging EV segments, Suzuki is on track to be a major player in the Indian two-wheeler landscape in the years ahead.
