ஜூலை பருவமழைக் காலத்தில் வருகிறது; வரலாற்று ரீதியாக நகர்ப்புற ஷோரூம் வருகை குறையும் மாதமாகவும், விவசாய உபகரணங்களுக்கு வலுவான மாதமாகவும் இருந்துள்ளது.

Q2 FY 2024-25 ஜூலை 2024 முதல் செப்டம்பர் 2024 வரை நடந்தது; இது முடிந்துவிட்டது. கீழுள்ள அட்டவணையில் உள்ள ஒவ்வொரு மாதமும் இறுதியானது; இந்தப் பக்கத்திலுள்ள ஒப்பீடுகள் அனைத்தும் Q2 FY 2023-24-இன் அதே மாதத்துடன் ஒப்பிடப்பட்டவை.

Cars accounted for 14.9% of everything registered in India over the period, down from 15.8% in Q2 FY 2023-24. The whole market ran to 59,56,540 vehicles over the same window, up 3.1% year on year.

These are privately registered cars and UVs. Vahan books taxis and cabs as a class of their own, another 83,417 in Q2 FY 2024-25, and passenger-vehicle figures published elsewhere usually include them. With taxis, the period comes to 9,68,203 passenger vehicles.

Maruti Suzuki led the period with 3,31,820 registrations, down 8.5% on Q2 FY 2023-24. Hyundai follows on 1,26,397, 2,05,423 behind — a gap of 2.63x.

The fastest riser in the top 8 was Toyota Kirloskar, up 29.4% to 62,951, while Skoda was down 21.9% at 19,337.

Volumes here are registrations inside the segment only, counted with Vahan's own vehicle-class filter, so each is the manufacturer's car volume over Q2 FY 2024-25. Companies that file electric models under a maker of their own appear as separate rows.

Set against the rest of the market, cars lagged the national picture over Q2 FY 2024-25: −3.1% against +3.1% for every vehicle registered in India.

இந்த அட்டவணை Vahan அறிக்கை அளிக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு பிரிவையும் ஒரே 3 மாதக் காலத்தில் உள்ளடக்குகிறது; அதனால் ஒப்பீடு நேருக்கு நேர் — இரு பக்கமும் ஒரே மாதங்கள், ஒரே மூலம்.

Vahan splits a segment by fuel only across a whole calendar year, so this table covers full-year 2024 rather than Q2 FY 2024-25 alone — it is exact for that window.

Petrol accounts for 55.4% of car registrations over full-year 2024, with battery-electric at 2.4%.

Across the 3 completed windows in our Vahan record, car registrations went from 8,84,786 in Q2 FY 2024-25 to 11,65,836 in Q2 FY 2026-27, up 31.8% over the stretch.
