It's hard to believe, but half the year has completed and it still feels like 2025 just kicked off recently. Well, a lot has been talked about 2025 being the year for electric vehicles, but the two-wheelers are going to launch a mix of petrol and battery-powered scooters.

We take a look at scooters that are expected to make their debut in the latter half of this.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India

Let's start with the king of the scooter segment, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI). The number one scooter in India, the Activa, is going to get a much-needed facelift with some vital updates that will help keep its competition at bay. It could be equipped with an instrument cluster, LED indicators and tail lamps. There will be some tweaks in the design, but it will remain predominantly the same.

TVS Motor

The rumour mill has been buzzing for a while whether TVS will plonk a more powerful 150cc in the sporty Ntorq. Even though this segment is niche, it is also an opportunity to storm this category with a Ntorq 150. Based on reports, the 150cc engine is going to be a new one and this will let the Ntorq compete against Aprilia SXR 160, Hero Xoom 160 and Yamaha Aerox 155.TVS Ntorq (Image: TVS)
