As we roll into October 2024, carmakers such as Maruti Suzuki, Tata, Hyundai, Mahindra, Kia, and Audi and others have shared their sales numbers for the month of September 2024.. Alongside carmakers, two-wheeler manufacturers such as Bajaj, TVS, Hero MotoCorp, and Honda have also shared their sales numbers.
Last month, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza was the top-seller, and SUVs topping the sales charts has been the norm for a while now. So the question is, can Maruti Suzuki hold on to its spot on the top, or can Tata steal the spot with the Punch or the Nexon with the discounts that were offered? More details will be known about this soon in terms of the best-selling cars in September 2024.
Also something to watch out for is the YoY sales — last month, many carmakers reported negative growth apart from Mahindra, who has seen a consistent growth over the last few months. This month, Mahindra, Toyota, Bajaj, Honda, and Hero MotoCorp have posted positive sales.
