Passenger Vehicle (PV) Sales 2024: Maruti Suzuki Leads, 42,29,957 Units, Up 5.2% YoY

India's passenger vehicle market registered 42,29,957 passenger vehicles in CY 2024. Volumes rose 5.2% against the 40,21,338 logged over the same 12 months of CY 2023.

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 CY 2024 that was 39,00,746 cars and UVs and 3,29,211 taxis and cabs; taxis were 7.8% of the total. Against CY 2023, cars and UVs were +3.5% and taxis +30.4%.

October was the strongest month of the period at 5,12,215 passenger vehicles and September the quietest at 2,93,779, an average of 3,52,496 a month. 6 of those 12 months grew on the same month a year earlier.

CY 2024 ran from January 2024 to December 2024 and is closed. Every month in the table below is final, and every comparison on this page is against the matching month of CY 2023.

Passenger vehicles accounted for 15.5% of everything registered in India over the period, down from 16.1% in CY 2023. The whole market ran to 2,72,37,581 vehicles over the same window, up 9.1% year on year.

Maruti Suzuki led the period with 17,04,731 registrations, up 3.1% on CY 2023. Hyundai follows on 5,84,009, 11,20,722 behind — a gap of 2.92x.

The fastest riser in the top 8 was Toyota Kirloskar, up 34.8% to 2,67,891, while Skoda was down 12.7% at 84,773.

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 CY 2024. Companies that file electric models under a maker of their own appear as separate rows.

Set against the rest of the market, passenger vehicles lagged the national picture over CY 2024: +5.2% against +9.1% 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 full-year 2024 rather than CY 2024 alone — it is exact for that window.

Petrol accounts for 52.6% of passenger vehicle registrations over full-year 2024, with battery-electric at 2.5%.

Across the 2 completed windows in our Vahan record, passenger vehicle registrations went from 42,29,957 in CY 2024 to 46,29,371 in CY 2025, up 9.4% over the stretch.

CY 2026 is still running — 10 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.

State-level volumes for a single segment come from a calendar-year table, so the figures below cover full-year 2024. Maharashtra leads with 5,00,647 registrations, 11.8% of the segment.
