    April 2025 provided a clear picture of India’s evolving automotive industry, where passenger vehicle sales hit record highs, electric vehicles (EVs) gained momentum, and two-wheeler sales faced challenges. The market is shifting towards premium SUVs, fuel-efficient cars, and EV adoption, while rural demand for traditional two-wheelers remains sluggish.

    Passenger Vehicles: SUVs & EVs Lead the Charge

    India’s passenger vehicle (PV) market reached a new peak in April 2025, with 348,847 units sold, marking a 3.9% YoY growth. The surge was driven by strong demand for SUVs and electric cars, reflecting consumer preference for spacious, tech-enabled vehicles.

    Key Highlights:

    • Maruti Suzuki remained the leader with 138,704 units sold (0.6% growth).

    • Mahindra & Mahindra overtook Hyundai, selling 52,330 units (28% growth) thanks to its popular SUV lineup.

    • Tata Motors saw a 5.6% decline, while Hyundai’s sales dropped by 11.6%.

    • EV sales surged by 58%, with Mahindra Electric leading (24% market share), followed by Tata Motors (20%) and MG Motor (18%).

    Top 10 Best-Selling PVs – April 2025

    Rank Model Units Sold YoY Change
    1 Hyundai Creta 17,016 +10%
    2 Maruti Suzuki Dzire 16,996 +7%
    3 Maruti Brezza 16,971 -1%
    4 Maruti Ertiga 15,780 +17%
    5 Mahindra Scorpio 15,534 +5%
    6 Tata Nexon 15,457 +38%
    7 Maruti Swift 14,592 +256%
    8 Maruti Fronx 14,345 0%
    9 Maruti Wagon R 13,413 -25%
    10 Maruti Baleno 13,180 -6%

    Two-Wheelers: Rural Weakness, Urban EV Shift

    The two-wheeler (2W) segment struggled, with total sales (including exports) at 1.75 million units, a 5% YoY decline. Rural demand remained weak, while urban buyers leaned towards electric scooters.

    Key Highlights:

    • Honda led with 480,896 units (-11.26% YoY).

    • TVS Motor grew by 14.88%, selling 430,330 units.

    • Hero MotoCorp faced a sharp 42.76% drop, selling 305,406 units.

    • Electric two-wheelers (e2W) showed resilience, with TVS iQube (19,736 units) outselling Ola Electric (19,709 units).

    Top 10 Best-Selling Two-Wheelers – April 2025

    10 RE Classic 350 30,641 +8.23%

    Three-Wheelers: The Silent EV Revolution

    The electric three-wheeler (e3W) market is booming, with Mahindra Last Mile Mobility (MLMM) and Bajaj Auto leading the charge.

    Key Players:

    • MLMM sold 5,640 units (87% growth).

    • Bajaj Auto recorded 5,509 units (330% surge).

    • YC Electric sold 4,465 units (15% growth).

    • TVS Motor entered the market with 1,207 units sold.

    Future Outlook: Growth Amid Challenges

    • PV segment expected to grow 1-2%, driven by SUVs and EVs.

    • Two-wheelers may recover slowly as EV adoption rises.

    • Three-wheelers will continue electrifying, supported by government incentives.

    Conclusion

    April 2025 highlighted India’s diverging auto trends, SUVs and EVs thriving, while two-wheelers face hurdles. Brands embracing electrification and premiumisation will lead the next phase of growth in India’s automotive industry.
