- Scooters have been playing an instrumental role in the Indian two-wheeler market's growth over the last few years and fuel economy plays a crucial role in determining the consumer's choice in this space.
Fuel efficiency has always been one of the key deciding factors for Indian consumers when it comes to buying a vehicle, be it a car, a motorcycle or a scooter. In the last couple of years, the Indian two-wheeler market has witnessed rapid growth. Besides the motorcycles, scooters have been highly instrumental in this growth story for the Indian two-wheeler market. Besides the massive influx of new models with advanced technology, the rise in women buyers’ percentage, higher disposable income level, and substantial growth of the rural economy have played their respective roles in boosting the sales numbers for the scooters.

If you are looking for the most fuel-efficient scooters in India, here are the top five options for you.
The Yamaha Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid comes powered by a 125 cc engine paired with an electric motor and the hybrid powertrain churns out 68 kmpl of mileage, which is the highest any scooter in India offers.

Being weighed just 99 kg, it is one of the most lightweight scooters in India, which also helps in driving up its fuel efficiency.

Despite being not as popular as the Honda Activa range, TVS too has earned pretty good respect from the Indian scooter buyers. One of the popular scooters from this homegrown two-wheeler major is the Jupiter 125, which comes promising around 60 kmpl mileage. Some of the elements that enhance its appeal alongside good mileage are spacious under-seat storage, a stylish design and a comfortable riding experience.
Suzuki Burgman Street 125 is one of the few maxi-scooters available in the Indian two-wheeler market amid the range of commuter models. The Suzuki Burgman Street 125 not only comes with a stylish and imposing design but also promises a practical fuel economy of around 50 kmpl.
