Status of Maruti Suzuki
Maruti Suzuki sold 1.38 lakh cars in April 2025, up from 1.39 lakh in April last year. Due to this, its market share declined from 40.39% to 39.44%. However, the company still remains at the first position in the Indian car market.
Mahindra’s great jump
Mahindra registered a significant increase in its market share in April 2025. It was 11.23% in April 2024, which increased to 13.83% in April 2025. The company sold around 48,500 vehicles during this period, which is 15% more than last year. Demand for Mahindra’s popular SUV models like Scorpio, Thar and XUV700 played an important role in this growth.
Position of Hyundai and Tata
Hyundai Motor, which was in second place for a long time, has now slipped to fourth place. Its market share fell from 14.29% to 12.47% in April 2025. The company sold around 43,600 cars during this period. On the other hand, Tata Motors remained in third place, but its sales declined. Tata sold 44,065 cars in April 2025, up from 46,915 last year. Due to this, its market share fell from 13.61% to 12.59%.
Automobile sector performance
According to FADA, total automobile retail sales grew by 3% to 22.8 lakh units in April 2025. Positive growth was seen across all categories except commercial vehicles. FADA President CS Vigneshwar said, “Festivals like Chaitra Navratri, Akshaya Tritiya, Baisakhi and Bengali New Year inspired customers to shop. Also, stability in the stock market also created a positive environment.”
Future prospects
This achievement of Mahindra reflects the growing competitive environment in the Indian automobile industry. The company’s strong strategy, new models and focus on electric vehicles have given it a strong position in the market. On the other hand, Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai will need to bring more innovation and attractive offers to maintain their position.
