Overall automobile retail sales in India grew 4.84% year-on-year in June 2025 to 20,03,873 units, driven by festival and marriage-season demand.
Two-wheelers saw a 4.73% gain on a year-on-year basis, despite a 12.48% month-on-month decline, influenced by factors like financing constraints, intermittent variant shortages, early monsoon rains, and rising EV penetration.
Passenger vehicle retails slipped 1.49% month-on-month but exhibited a 2.45% year-on-year uplift, with challenges such as heavy rains, tight market liquidity, and compulsory billing procedures affecting sales.
Commercial vehicle (CV) retails declined 2.97% month-on-month, yet achieved a robust 6.6% year-on-year expansion. Factors impacting CV sales included new taxation, mandatory air-conditioned cabins, muted infrastructure demand, and softening economy.
