Passenger Vehicle (PV) Sales Q2 FY 2026-27: Maruti Suzuki Leads, 12,83,828 Units, Up 27% YoY

India's passenger vehicle market registered 12,83,828 passenger vehicles in Q2 FY 2026-27. Volumes accelerated 26.7% against the 10,13,503 logged over the same 3 months of Q2 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 Q2 FY 2026-27 that was 11,65,836 cars and UVs and 1,17,992 taxis and cabs; taxis were 9.2% of the total. Against Q2 FY 2025-26, cars and UVs were +25.9% and taxis +35.0%.

September was the strongest month of the period at 4,40,554 passenger vehicles and August the quietest at 4,15,388, an average of 4,27,943 a month. Every one of those 3 months grew on the same month a year earlier.

September is the quiet month before the festive peak — buyers routinely defer registrations into the auspicious October window.

Vahan splits a segment by fuel only across a whole calendar year, so this table covers 2026 year to date rather than Q2 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 3 completed windows in our Vahan record, passenger vehicle registrations went from 9,68,203 in Q2 FY 2024-25 to 12,83,828 in Q2 FY 2026-27, up 32.6% over the stretch.
