    India car sales 2026: passenger vehicle retail by month, brand and fuel type (FADA data)

    How many cars were sold in India in October 2026?

    India retailed 507,768 passenger vehicles in October 2026, down 14.23% year on year but up 18.86% on September and the third-best October on record, according to FADA's Vahan-based retail data. FADA puts the fall down to an exceptionally high base: October 2025 carried Navratri, Diwali and demand released by the GST 2.0 cuts. Release note: India car sales October 2026.

    From January to October, the sum of FADA's monthly retail prints is 4,323,120 passenger vehicles (no source publishes a calendar-year total, and FADA later revises earlier months, so the true count may be higher). Petrol and ethanol took 41.60% of October retail and diesel 16.57%, while CNG and LPG took 24.59%, hybrids 9.94% and electric 7.30%, below September's 8.45% because FADA says supply, not demand, was the limit. Maruti Suzuki led with 211,996 (41.75%), Tata Motors took second with 73,449 (14.47%) ahead of Mahindra on 64,982. The model table still shows September dispatches until SIAM publishes October.
