Suzuki Motorcycle Records Strong Growth, Celebrates 20 Years

The Japanese automaker has surpassed 10 million units in production, reflecting steady growth fueled by an expanding lineup and rising demand in India.

Pune: Suzuki Motorcycle India has recorded strong growth in the fiercely competitive but growing market in India, the world’s largest two-wheeler market, as it completes 20 years of production operation.

To celebrate its milestone and support future demand, Suzuki is setting up a new manufacturing facility at Kharkhoda, which will play a key role in expanding production capacity.

The Japanese automaker has also crossed the 10 million units production mark, highlighting steady growth driven by expanding product portfolio and rising customer demand in India.

“Marking 20 years of the start of production in India is a significant milestone for all of us. Through gradual expansion of our product portfolio, sustained investments in manufacturing, and focus on quality and reliability, we have steadily scaled our presence in India,” said Kenichi Umeda, Managing Director at Suzuki Motorcycle India.

Suzuki’s journey started in 2006, with the launch of the Heat 125 and Zeus 125 motorcycles, followed by the Access 125 in 2007, which went on to become one of the brand’s most successful products.

Over time, the company has expanded its portfolio with models such as Burgman Street, Avenis, Gixxer series and V-Strom SX, along with premium motorcycles like Hayabusa and V-Strom 800 DE.

Suzuki’s Access 125 played a crucial role in establishing the brand in the scooter segment, while Burgman Street helped create a niche in the premium maxi-scooter space. Avenis, with its sporty appeal, has further strengthened Suzuki’s presence among younger buyers.

In the motorcycle segment, Gixxer range continues to be a key volume driver, while adventure-focused offerings like V-Strom SX have expanded Suzuki’s reach into newer categories.

Suzuki Motorcycle India achieved its first 1 million customers in 2012, crossed 5 million units in 2020, and clocked the 10 million production milestone in 2026.

At present, the Suzuki two-wheelers manufactured in India are exported to 77 countries.
