Around 3.53 Lakh passenger cars were sold in the Indian market in April 2025. Sales increased by 4.9% over April last year and dropped by 8.4% compared to March 2025.
April is usually a dull month as there are no festivities in the month and the holiday season starts as well. The month is also impacted with heavy wholesales in April due to financial year end. The volumes was majorly impacted across all OEMs apart from the companies which had new launches in hand. MoM growth was highest in Mahindra and MG, while Skoda, MG and Toyota recorded the highest YoY growth.
Maruti Suzuki registered a flat YoY growth, reaching 1,38,704 units in Apr'25 compared to 1,37,952 units in Apr'24. The OEM also lost 1.7% Market Share.
Mahindra continued its stellar performance and grew 27.6% YoY. It also gained the highest Market Share in Apr'25 vs Apr'24. M&M was firmly placed in Rank 2 and was much ahead of its peers Tata & Hyundai. The Indian MNC is having a dream run and majority models in its portfolio are faring well.
Tata Motors sold 45,199 units in the domestic market during the month, registering a 5.6% drop over Apr '24. The OEM also lost 1.4% Market Share and ranked third in Apr'25.
Hyundai has been heavily relying on Creta volumes, and was evident in Apr'25 dispatches as well. Hyundai's Creta was the best-selling car of Apr'25 and 38% of Hyundai's volumes last month was contributed by Creta alone! However, the other models in the portfolio are not performing as per expectations and has pushed Hyundai to the fourth spot. Do note that these figures are dispatch numbers and Hyundai is also trying to rationalize its channel stock.
Toyota holds its fifth position and grew a considerable 32.8% over last year. The OEM is anyhow being closely tailed by Kia. The Korean automaker is bound to perform stronger with the launch of Clavis and supported by newly launched Syros.
