Honda Shine 100 Crosses 3 Lakh Unit Sales Milestone Within A Year of Commencement in India

The Shine 100, launched in March 2023, has marked a sales milestone for Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI). It is said to have surpassed a 3 lakh-unit sales mark in the first year of sales and, to mark this significant milestone, HMSI recently organised mega-delivery events of its most affordable offering – the Shine 100 – in several cities across India.   

With more than 3 lakh samples of the Shine 100 sold to date, HMSI says it has witnessed incredible growth in the 100-110cc segment throughout FY2024. The bike became a hit among many budget-conscious buyers, thanks to its simple build, steady performance, outstanding fuel efficiency, and attractive pricing. Further amplifying the customers' trust in the Shine 100 is HMSI's sales and service network. HMSI has now over 6,000 touchpoints in the country which cater to the demand from urban and rural areas alike.
