Indian Passenger Vehicle Sales Sept 2025 Show Strong Growth at 5.3% YoY
The Indian passenger vehicle market registered an impressive 5.3% year-on-year (YoY) growth in September 2025, with total sales reaching 299,369 units. This surge was largely fueled by the booming SUV segment and new product launches. However, the month revealed a mixed performance for automakers — some gaining strong momentum while others lost ground in market share.
Market Leaders: Maruti Dominates, Tata Motors Shines
Maruti Suzuki continued its dominance with 123,242 units sold, capturing a 41.17% share, slightly up from last year’s 40.83%. The demand for its wide product range ensured strong performance.
Tata Motors, however, was the real star, growing to 41,151 units with a 13.75% share, a major jump from 11.52% in 2024. This surge reflects the success of its SUV lineup and strong EV presence.
Mahindra & Mahindra held steady at the third spot with 37,659 units (12.58% share), while Hyundai slipped slightly with 35,812 units, down from 13.72% to 11.96%.
Toyota and Kia: Mixed Performance
Toyota Kirloskar sold 20,303 units, marking a dip in market share from 7.35% to 6.78%. Meanwhile, Kia India maintained consistency with 16,727 units, achieving 5.59% share, almost flat compared to last year.
Mid-Tier & Luxury Brands: Winners and Losers
Skoda Auto Volkswagen clocked 6,510 units with a 2.17% share, growing from 1.91% YoY. MG Motor impressed with 4,729 units, up to 1.58% from 1.08% last year.
On the flip side, Honda Cars (3,340 units, 1.12%), Renault (2,517 units, 0.84%), and Nissan (1,319 units, 0.44%) saw dips in their market positions.
In the luxury segment, BMW India grew slightly to 1,209 units, while Mercedes-Benz contracted to 1,149 units.
EV Push: BYD on the Rise
EV specialist BYD India showcased significant growth, selling 547 units and raising its market share to 0.18% from just 0.06% in 2024. This highlights the growing consumer confidence in EVs.
