The company says that this achievement reflects the increasing acceptance of hybrid technology in India and the growing trend towards clean mobility.

Reasons behind the surge in sales?

  1. There are many strong reasons behind the record sales of the auto sector in May 2026. The biggest reason is the continued strong domestic demand in the country. Despite high interest rates and global uncertainties, the purchasing power of Indian consumers remains strong. This is the reason why sales in the passenger vehicle segment are continuously creating new records.
  2. Improvement in the rural economy has also given great support to auto companies. Due to timely completion of harvesting of Rabi crop, improvement in farmers' income and favorable business conditions, there has been a sharp jump in the demand for agricultural equipment and tractors.
  3. Now the acceptance of clean mobility and new technologies is also increasing rapidly among Indian customers. Toyota crossing the sales mark of 3 lakh units of its strong hybrid electric vehicles in India is a sign of this change.
  4. The dominance of SUV and utility vehicle segments is also continuously increasing. Customer preferences are shifting from small cars to larger and feature-rich vehicles.
  5. Apart from this, increasing expenditure on roads, highways and other infrastructure projects across the country has kept the demand for commercial vehicles strong. Truck and bus companies have also benefited from the increase in freight and logistics activities.

Last Updated:

In CY25, Maruti Suzuki retained the top position by selling 17,86,226 units, Mahindra had the fastest growth, Tata Motors, Hyundai Motor India and Toyota Kirloskar Motor remained in the top five.

India's car market continued its strong growth in CY25, but a closer look at consumer sales reveals some interesting changes among the country's largest carmakers. While the old names still remain on top, the changes in market share and year-on-year growth tell a different story. From aggressive SUVs to steady mass-market performers, here are India's top five carmakers to win over customers in 2025, based on CY25 consumer sales.

Maruti Suzuki still remains India's largest car manufacturer. The company sold 17,86,226 units in CY25, giving it 39.91 percent market share. Although this keeps Maruti on top, its hold has weakened slightly compared to CY24, when its market share was 40.24 percent.

Mahindra has emerged as one of the biggest winners of CY25. The brand sold 5,92,771 units, giving it a market share of 13.25 percent, up from 12.08 percent in CY24. This growth is no coincidence. Mahindra's strong SUV-based portfolio and waiting list of vehicles like Scorpio-N, XUV700 and Thar have greatly influenced the demand among Indian buyers. Mahindra's growth also shows that consumers' preferences are now moving towards bigger and stronger vehicles. In terms of wholesale, Mahindra shipped 6,25,603 units from its factories.

Tata Motors secured the third position with consumer sales of 5,67,607 units in CY25. However, its market share declined to 12.68 percent, which was 13.18 percent last year. Despite the increase in sales, Tata is facing pressure from increasing competition in the compact SUV and EV segments. The company's wholesale sales for the year stood at 5,78,771.

Hyundai Motor India sold 5,59,558 units in CY25, giving it 12.50 percent market share. This is a significant decline compared to 13.76 percent in CY24.

Generated image

The last name in the top five is Toyota Kirloskar Motor, which sold 3,20,703 units, giving it 7.17 percent market share, which was 6.39 percent last year. Toyota's continued growth can be attributed to strong demand for its MPV vehicles and successful badge-engineered products developed in collaboration with Maruti Suzuki. The brand's credibility recognition is still working in its favor.

Maruti Suzuki Dezire won the title of best-selling car in 2025 by selling 2.14 lakh units, while Creta and Tata Nexon lagged behind in the SUV segment. These sales figures are very special for Dezire because these days there is a huge demand for SUV cars in India. In such a situation, it is very special in itself for a sedan model to become a bestseller.

New Delhi. Maruti Suzuki has won the SUV segment at a time when SUV cars were at the peak of their power in the market. The compact sedan has won the title of best-selling car in the calendar year 2025, while SUVs have been the first choice of buyers in the market. This is considered a big achievement for the model, because it came at a time when SUV cars were dominating the market trends and had the largest market share. 30 percent of Maruti Suzuki's total sales come from SUVs. At the same time, SUV body type has captured 55 percent of the total passenger vehicle market.

2.14 lakh units of Dezire

Maruti Suzuki Dezire has always been a favorite among family buyers and is also very popular among fleet operators under the Tour S variant. Dezire's strong features have played an important role in attracting family customers. Its latest generation model was launched in late 2024, due to which it remained relevant in the market and was successful in creating its own identity apart from the Swift hatchback. It is also special that the new generation Dezire is continuously leaving behind its nearest rivals in the segment – ​​Hyundai Aura and the new Honda Amaze in sales.

These figures show a big change in the Indian automobile market. Even though the SUV segment still accounts for more than half of total industry sales, the most popular model remains a compact sedan, reflecting the importance of value, efficiency and ownership costs in consumer purchasing decisions. Additionally, the company said that its hatchback segment cars have also contributed significantly to the total sales. Baleno became the best-selling model in December 2025 with sales of 22,108 units, thereby maintaining customer interest in the premium hatchback segment even though the market is dominated by SUVs.

Mini segment market share
Maruti Suzuki said that the recovery in the entry-level and compact segments has been possible due to increased affordability and better financing options after GST adjustment. The mini segment now accounts for 6.2 percent of total sales, with new buyers coming into the market once again.
