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

Q2 FY 2025-26 ஜூலை 2025 முதல் செப்டம்பர் 2025 வரை நடந்தது; இது முடிந்துவிட்டது. கீழுள்ள அட்டவணையில் உள்ள ஒவ்வொரு மாதமும் இறுதியானது; இந்தப் பக்கத்திலுள்ள ஒப்பீடுகள் அனைத்தும் Q2 FY 2024-25-இன் அதே மாதத்துடன் ஒப்பிடப்பட்டவை.

Cars accounted for 15.3% of everything registered in India over the period, up from 14.9% in Q2 FY 2024-25. The whole market ran to 60,62,131 vehicles over the same window, up 1.8% year on year.

These are privately registered cars and UVs. Vahan books taxis and cabs as a class of their own, another 87,426 in Q2 FY 2025-26, and passenger-vehicle figures published elsewhere usually include them. With taxis, the period comes to 10,13,503 passenger vehicles.

Maruti Suzuki led the period with 3,40,025 registrations, up 2.5% on Q2 FY 2024-25. Hyundai follows on 1,19,811, 2,20,214 behind — a gap of 2.84x.

The fastest riser in the top 8 was Tata Motors (EV), up 62.2% to 20,897, while Hyundai was down 5.2% at 1,19,811.

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 2025-26. Companies that file electric models under a maker of their own appear as separate rows.

Set against the rest of the market, cars outgrew the national picture over Q2 FY 2025-26: +4.7% against +1.8% 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 2025 rather than Q2 FY 2025-26 alone — it is exact for that window.

Petrol accounts for 51.3% of car registrations over full-year 2025, with battery-electric at 4.4%.

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.
