Passenger Vehicle (PV) Sales FY 2025-26: Maruti Suzuki Leads, 48,71,881 Units, Up 13.2% YoY

India's passenger vehicle market registered 48,71,881 passenger vehicles in FY 2025-26. Volumes pushed ahead 13.2% against the 43,03,387 logged over the same 12 months of FY 2024-25.

Passenger vehicles (PV, also called 4W) are privately registered cars and UVs plus taxis and cabs, which Vahan books as a class of their own. In FY 2025-26 that was 44,93,818 cars and UVs and 3,78,063 taxis and cabs; taxis were 7.8% of the total. Against FY 2024-25, cars and UVs were +13.1% and taxis +14.0%.

October was the strongest month of the period at 5,89,769 passenger vehicles and June the quietest at 3,17,587, an average of 4,05,990 a month. Every one of those 12 months grew on the same month a year earlier.

FY 2025-26 ran from April 2025 to March 2026 and is closed. Every month in the table below is final, and every comparison on this page is against the matching month of FY 2024-25.

Passenger vehicles accounted for 15.8% of everything registered in India over the period, up from 15.8% in FY 2024-25. The whole market ran to 3,08,42,426 vehicles over the same window, up 13.2% year on year.

Maruti Suzuki led the period with 19,30,246 registrations, up 11.4% on FY 2024-25. Mahindra follows on 6,11,875, 13,18,371 behind — a gap of 3.15x.

The fastest riser in the top 8 was Tata Motors (EV), up 40.2% to 85,360.

Volumes here are registrations inside the segment only, counted with Vahan's own vehicle-class filter, so each is the manufacturer's passenger vehicle volume over 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, passenger vehicles matched the national picture over FY 2025-26: +13.2% against +13.2% for every vehicle registered in India.

இந்த அட்டவணை Vahan அறிக்கை அளிக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு பிரிவையும் ஒரே 12 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 2026 year to date rather than FY 2025-26 alone — it is exact for that window.

Petrol accounts for 43.3% of passenger vehicle registrations over 2026 year to date, with battery-electric at 6.6%.

Across the 2 completed windows in our Vahan record, passenger vehicle registrations went from 43,03,387 in FY 2024-25 to 48,71,881 in FY 2025-26, up 13.2% over the stretch.

FY 2026-27 is still running — 7 of its 12 months are counted — so it is a part window and is never set against a full one. Its year-on-year figure compares only the months it actually holds.
