Auto Sales Boom in October: The month of October proved to be a great month for the Indian auto sector. The decline in vehicle prices following the reforms in Goods and Services Tax (GST 2.0) has drawn customers to showrooms. At the same time, the festive season gave further impetus to sales.

According to the report of Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), a total of 40.24 lakh vehicles were registered in India in October 2025, which shows an increase of 40.5% compared to the previous year. This is the highest monthly record ever, creating new history in both the two-wheeler and passenger vehicle segments.
The 42-day festive window from Dussehra to Diwali took vehicle sales to record levels. According to segment-wise data, sales of passenger vehicles registered a growth of 11.4%, taking the figure to 5.57 lakh units — meaning that people bought a lot of cars during this period. At the same time, two-wheelers registered a historic sales of 31.5 lakh units with a tremendous growth of 51.8%, which is the highest ever.
The most important reason behind this great success of the auto sector in October was the implementation of GST 2.0. The government cut GST rates on entry-level two-wheelers and small cars, making buying a vehicle more affordable than ever. This tax relief especially attracted first-time vehicle buyers, who were till now hesitant in purchasing due to budget reasons. This reform was implemented just before the festive season and became a golden opportunity for consumers to take “sentiment to action”.
According to the FADA report, “The impact of GST 2.0 proved to be transformational. Lower GST on small cars gave every segment the opportunity to purchase vehicles. This change will prove to be a long-term stabilizer of auto retail growth.” This new tax structure is built on the concept of “Simpler Tax, Stronger Growth”, which is going to further boost middle-class consumption in the coming years. The market was a bit slow due to GST transition in September, the month of record sales, but October seemed to have completed all the tasks of speed.
Dominance of Maruti, Tata and Mahindra
Maruti Suzuki maintained its dominance in the passenger vehicle segment and took the top position with 42.98% market share. Tata Motors stood second with 13.52% share and Mahindra & Mahindra stood third with 12.19%. These three companies together have a market share of about 70% of total sales.
At the same time, in the two-wheeler segment, Hero MotoCorp remained at number one with 31.58% share, while Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India achieved 26.10% and TVS Motor achieved 17.72% market share.
In the commercial vehicle segment, Mahindra led with 34.5% share, while Tata Motors with 32.3% and Ashok Leyland with 15.3% stood second and third respectively.
