Indian Passenger Vehicle Retail Sales Surge 28% in June 2026

Indian passenger vehicle retail sales experienced a significant boost in June 2026, with total registrations reaching 410,853 units. This figure represents a robust 28.63% year-on-year growth compared to June 2025, reflecting strong consumer demand across the automotive sector despite supply chain challenges faced by some major manufacturers during the month.

Maruti Suzuki maintained its market leadership by selling 167,834 units, a 36.70% increase, securing a 40.85% market share. Tata Motors followed with 57,009 units, marking a 51.09% growth, while Mahindra recorded 54,099 units, a 22.26% increase. Conversely, Hyundai saw a 9.97% decline to 39,635 units, largely due to a fire at a supplier's facility that resulted in a production loss of approximately 13,900 units.

The market remains active with new launches, including the Nissan Tekton and MG Starlight 560, scheduled for mid-July. The recent launch of the Skoda Kodiaq RS saw all 50 allocated units sell out within six minutes, underscoring the high demand for premium vehicles. Meanwhile, Tata Motors has implemented a price increase of up to 1.5% across its ICE and EV ranges, effective July 1, as manufacturers adjust to rising input costs.
