New Delhi, December 12, 2025: India’s automobile industry posted strong growth in November, with passenger vehicle dispatches rising 19 percent year-on-year, according to data released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). The surge reflects sustained consumer demand following the festive season and signals continued momentum in the sector.
SIAM reported that total passenger vehicle sales stood at 4,12,405 units in November 2025, compared to 3,47,522 units in November 2024, marking an 18.7 percent increase. The growth was driven by strong performance from leading automakers. Maruti Suzuki India dispatched 1,70,971 units, up 21 percent from 1,41,312 units a year earlier. Mahindra & Mahindra recorded a 22 percent rise, dispatching 56,336 units compared to 46,222 units last year. Hyundai Motor India also saw growth, billing 50,340 units, a 4 percent increase from 48,246 units in November 2024.
The broader auto sector also witnessed significant gains. Two-wheeler dispatches rose 21 percent year-on-year to 19,44,475 units, compared to 16,04,749 units in the same month last year. Three-wheeler sales increased 21.3 percent to 71,999 units, underscoring strong demand across categories.
Industry experts attribute the growth to a combination of factors, including festive season demand, improved consumer sentiment, and supportive government policies. Rajesh Menon, Director General of SIAM, noted that the industry has managed to sustain momentum despite global economic uncertainties. He emphasized that the strong November performance reflects resilience in domestic demand and the sector’s ability to adapt to evolving market conditions.
The November figures mark the highest-ever sales for the month, highlighting the industry’s recovery trajectory and its potential to maintain growth into the new year. Analysts believe that continued demand in urban and semi-urban markets, coupled with new product launches, will further support expansion.
