Analysis of India Passenger-Vehicle Market Shares for FY2025–26
India recorded 4.6 million domestic passenger-vehicle sales in FY2025–26. CarArth highlights the necessity of consistent reporting standards when calculating manufacturer market share.
The Indian passenger-vehicle market reached a total of 4,643,439 units in the fiscal year 2025–26, according to data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). Accurate calculation of brand market share relies on comparing manufacturer-reported domestic sales against this industry-wide denominator.
Maruti Suzuki reported 1,823,129 domestic sales for the period, equating to approximately 39.3% of the market. Hyundai Motor India recorded 584,906 domestic units, representing a 12.6% share. These calculations are derived from official company filings, though industry analysts warn that inconsistencies often arise when researchers mix domestic sales figures with export or wholesale data.
CarArth notes that new-car sales rankings do not serve as indicators for the reliability or value of individual used vehicles. The firm advises consumers to prioritize independent inspections, service history, and detailed vehicle documentation over brand volume metrics when evaluating used-car purchases.
