India’s car market shines in September 2025, with passenger vehicle sales hitting new records as GST 2.0 reforms and festive demand fueled four wheeler purchases. According to Vahan data, Tata Motors emerged as one of the top sellers, registering 40,594 passenger vehicle sales, which is its highest monthly tally yet. Mahindra & Mahindra followed with 37,015 units, while Hyundai sold 35,443 vehicles during the month.
Mahindra however wasn’t just busy focusing on passenger vehicles, but it made headlines by selling a total of 1,00,298 vehicles, including exports, in September 2025. That is a 16% growth compared to last year. Also, M&M sold 56,233 SUVs, which marked a 10% year-on-year increase.
Nalinikanth Gollagunta, CEO, Automotive Division, M&M
Ltd., said, “Thanks to the impetus from GST 2.0 and the preceding weeks’ pent-up demand, we have seen robust growth in dealer reported customer retails during the first nine days of Navratri*, with over 60% growth in the SUV segment and over 70% growth in the CV segment compared to the first nine days of Navratri last year. The surge in festive demand has placed significant constraints on availability of trailers. We are working to improve dispatches to our dealer network within the constraints.”
