Passenger Vehicle (PV) Sales H2 FY 2026-27 (So Far): 5,14,377 Units, Down 12.8% YoY

India's passenger vehicle market registered 5,14,377 passenger vehicles in H2 FY 2026-27 so far. Volumes fell 12.8% against the 5,89,769 logged over the same month of H2 FY 2025-26.

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 H2 FY 2026-27 so far that is 4,75,551 cars and UVs and 38,826 taxis and cabs; taxis are 7.5% of the total. Against the same month of H2 FY 2025-26, cars and UVs are −13.6% and taxis −1.8%.

அக்டோபர் பண்டிகைக் காலத்தின் உச்சம். நவராத்திரியும் தீபாவளியும் பெரும்பாலான ஆண்டுகளில் இதை மிகப் பெரிய பதிவு மாதமாக மாற்றுகின்றன; எனவே ஆண்டுக்கு ஆண்டு ஒப்பீடுகள் பண்டிகைகள் எந்தத் தேதியில் வருகின்றன என்பதைப் பொறுத்து மாறும்.

H2 FY 2026-27 still has 5 months to run. Held at the pace of the 1 months already counted, it would finish near 30.86 L passenger vehicles — a run rate rather than a forecast, and the festive quarter moves it more than anything else on this page.

Passenger vehicles accounted for 16.1% of everything registered in India over the period, up from 14.1% in H2 FY 2025-26. The whole market ran to 32,01,572 vehicles over the same window, down 23.2% year on year.

Maruti Suzuki led the period with 2,14,648 registrations, down 13.9% on H2 FY 2025-26. Hyundai follows on 58,762, 1,55,886 behind — a gap of 3.65x.

The fastest riser in the top 8 was Tata Motors (EV), up 83.1% to 15,067, while Skoda was down 30.3% at 9,328.

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 H2 FY 2026-27. Companies that file electric models under a maker of their own appear as separate rows.

Set against the rest of the market, passenger vehicles outgrew the national picture over H2 FY 2026-27: −12.8% against −23.2% for every vehicle registered in India.

இந்த அட்டவணை Vahan அறிக்கை அளிக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு பிரிவையும் ஒரே 1 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 H2 FY 2026-27 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 23,54,798 in H2 FY 2024-25 to 28,41,682 in H2 FY 2025-26, up 20.7% over the stretch.

H2 FY 2026-27 is still running — 1 of its 6 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.
