The Honda Activa has reached a new sales milestone with over 3 crore units now sold in India. The milestone comes 22 years after the launch of the original Activa. Honda launched its best-selling scooter in the Indian market back in 2001 with a 100 cc engine. Later developments would see Honda upgrade the unit to a 110 cc mill in 2008, followed by the introduction of the more powerful Activa 125 in 2014. The scooter crossed the 1 crore sales mark back in 2015 with the next 2 crore units being sold in the next 7 years.
