India Passenger-Vehicle Sales in FY2025–26: What the Data Says About Brand Share

What does the latest comparable data show?
SIAM reports 4,643,439 domestic passenger-vehicle sales for FY2025–26. That is the industry denominator—not a brand ranking. A brand-share table is meaningful only when every numerator uses the same period, geography, vehicle segment and sales basis, and the method is disclosed.
Maruti Suzuki reported 1,823,129 domestic passenger-vehicle sales for April 2025–March 2026; Hyundai Motor India reported 584,906 domestic sales for FY2025–26. Dividing those company-reported figures by SIAM's industry total gives approximate shares of 39.3% and 12.6%. These are calculations from the linked releases, not shares published by SIAM. Recheck definitions and reporting cut-offs before comparing more manufacturers.
FY2025–26 reference figures
Measure
FY2025–26
Source and interpretation
India domestic passenger-vehicle industry sales
4,643,439 units
SIAM industry total; denominator for illustrative ratios
Maruti Suzuki domestic passenger-vehicle sales
1,823,129 units
Company-reported domestic PV sales; excludes its separate LCV, OEM and export lines
Hyundai Motor India domestic sales
584,906 units
Company-reported domestic component; total sales also include exports
Calculation: illustrative share = company-reported domestic PV sales ÷ SIAM domestic PV industry sales × 100, rounded to one decimal place. Do not add exports to a domestic numerator or treat wholesale sales and retail registrations as interchangeable.
Why a sales rank is not a used-car recommendation
New-car sales volume measures vehicles sold under a defined reporting basis. It does not establish reliability, safety, resale value, repair cost or suitability for an individual used-car buyer. Those questions need different evidence: exact model-year and variant safety results, service and parts access, vehicle condition, ownership history, insurance/repair record and comparable local used-car prices.
How to read a brand-share chart responsibly
1. State the period and whether figures are domestic or global.
2. Define the segment and sales basis.
3. Use company-reported domestic segment totals and one consistent industry denominator.
4. Link every numerator and denominator to its original release; note scope differences.
5. Show rounding and label calculated shares as calculations.
6. Refresh after a new full-period dataset; do not extrapolate a partial month into an annual rank.
What buyers should compare instead
For a used car, compare the exact variant and model year, applicable safety results, service history, independent inspection, ownership and registration details, insurance/PUC status, outstanding finance where relevant and actual comparable local prices. A high-volume brand can be familiar, but the individual vehicle's condition and documents remain decisive.
Sources and methodology
• SIAM: Q4 and FY2025–26 industry performance.
• Maruti Suzuki: March 2026 and FY2025–26 sales release.
• Hyundai Motor India: FY2025–26 annual report.
Scope: This is not a complete top-10 ranking. The previous ten-brand percentage table is removed because it did not provide a reproducible source or denominator. Add more brands only after checking each official domestic PV figure against SIAM's matching period and segment.
