Have the shop check it out. You could be running a little too rich (on fuel). Or you can try NGK Platinum plugs as they are better in "self-cleaning."

simply said it runs too fat (too much petrol - too little air)
Air filter is a possibility or the carburator needs a little adjustment. Also check if the spark plug is the same as specified in the users manual.
BTW scooters are popular around the world - not only in India. The ones in India are mostly Lambretta/Vespa license built so they came originally from Italy.

Are you in India? We use lots of scooters here, and don't know any other country using scooters!!!
Any way, I guess clean the fliter, or get a new one. Change the place where you fill the petrol. And get it serviced once in a while.
