Passenger Vehicle (PV) Sales Q1 FY 2025-26: Maruti Suzuki Leads, 10,16,701 Units, Up 3.7% YoY

India's passenger vehicle market registered 10,16,701 passenger vehicles in Q1 FY 2025-26. Volumes edged up 3.7% against the 9,80,386 logged over the same 3 months of Q1 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 Q1 FY 2025-26 that was 9,33,621 cars and UVs and 83,080 taxis and cabs; taxis were 8.2% of the total. Against Q1 FY 2024-25, cars and UVs were +3.9% and taxis +1.7%.

April was the strongest month of the period at 3,75,107 passenger vehicles and June the quietest at 3,17,587, an average of 3,38,900 a month. Every one of those 3 months grew on the same month a year earlier.

Q1 FY 2025-26 ஏப்ரல் 2025 முதல் ஜூன் 2025 வரை நடந்தது; இது முடிந்துவிட்டது. கீழுள்ள அட்டவணையில் உள்ள ஒவ்வொரு மாதமும் இறுதியானது; இந்தப் பக்கத்திலுள்ள ஒப்பீடுகள் அனைத்தும் Q1 FY 2024-25-இன் அதே மாதத்துடன் ஒப்பிடப்பட்டவை.

Passenger vehicles accounted for 14.9% of everything registered in India over the period, down from 15.1% in Q1 FY 2024-25. The whole market ran to 68,17,711 vehicles over the same window, up 5.0% year on year.

Maruti Suzuki led the period with 3,91,718 registrations, broadly flat (−0.3%) on Q1 FY 2024-25. Mahindra follows on 1,35,536, 2,56,182 behind — a gap of 2.89x.

The fastest riser in the top 8 was Skoda, up 40.9% to 28,433, while Hyundai was down 7.6% at 1,28,564.

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 Q1 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 lagged the national picture over Q1 FY 2025-26: +3.7% against +5.0% for every vehicle registered in India.

Vahan splits a segment by fuel only across a whole calendar year, so this table covers full-year 2025 rather than Q1 FY 2025-26 alone — it is exact for that window.

Petrol accounts for 48.4% of passenger vehicle registrations over full-year 2025, with battery-electric at 4.2%.

Across the 3 completed windows in our Vahan record, passenger vehicle registrations went from 9,80,386 in Q1 FY 2024-25 to 12,67,423 in Q1 FY 2026-27, up 29.3% over the stretch.
