BMW India Sales May 2026: 1,824 Units, +15.4% YoY

BMW India registered 1,824 vehicles in India in May 2026. Volume rose sharply 15.4% against May 2025 and slipped 11.1% against April. Its best month on record remains January 2026 at 2,825.

Of those, 1,440 were cars and UVs (78.9% of the total), +22.7% on May 2025. That figure is exact: it is counted with Vahan's own vehicle-class filter rather than worked out from the company total.

That put BMW India 41st among every manufacturer registering vehicles in India in May 2026, behind Daimler India CV on 1,989 and ahead of SML Mahindra on 1,588.

Measured against every vehicle registered in India that month — all segments, all fuels — that is 0.1% of the market, 0.00pp against May 2025.

Across 2026 to date — the 5 months of the year that have closed — the company has registered 10,815 vehicles, +7.2% on the same months of 2025.

78.9% of everything BMW India has registered in 2026 is in cars and UVs, and the company holds 0.4% of that segment nationally. Two-wheelers is next at 20.9%.

This split is the calendar year to date and cannot be cut to a single month: our Vahan data holds a manufacturer's volume by month, and its volume by vehicle class, but not the two together. Multiplying them would be a guess, so the table stays on the axis where the number is exact.

20.0% of BMW India's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 4,546 vehicles, against 15.2% in 2025.

Fuel, like segment, is published against the manufacturer for the whole year rather than by month, so these shares are 2026 to date. Hybrids are counted separately from battery electrics.

Ranked on total registrations across every vehicle type, which is the finest manufacturer split our Vahan data holds with a month axis. Two-wheeler makers therefore sit above carmakers selling far more value — this is a count of vehicles, not of revenue.

The last 15 months on record. The year-on-year column compares each month against the same month a year earlier; the running month is left without one.
