Auto Sales March 2025 Live Updates: Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is the best-selling PV in FY25

From what we’ve seen so far, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, TVS, Honda, Hyundai, Suzuki, MG, Nissan, and Royal Enfield have posted positive sales. For Mahindra, the Scorpio has been the strongest seller while the XUV700 is a consistent selling product. The EV portfolio has also helped sales. For Hyundai, the Creta has been a hit and has led the SUV sales for the last three months in a row, while the Creta EV is yet to make an impact.

TVS continues its magic with the scooters, especially the Jupiter 110 which has seen a massive update. TVS’ all-electric offering, the iQube has also racked in numbers. For Royal Enfield, multiple new launches and its growing popularity overseas and in India with the 650cc lineup has played a key role, while the 350cc models are still the best-sellers in India.

Welcome back, everybody. Automakers such as Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj are yet to share their numbers and we expect them today.

“HCIL sales performance in FY’24-25 has been in line with the ongoing tough business environment. While on domestic front, the industry faced challenges in creating fresh demand from the market which was also reflected in HCIL domestic sales, we recorded our highest ever export volumes led by strong export business of Elevate to Japan. The recent launch of All-New Amaze has been well received from the market strengthening our position in the family sedan segment.” He further added, “While demand creation may still present challenge in the new fiscal year, we remain optimistic and believe our commitment to customer satisfaction will enable us to navigate the market effectively and continue driving positive results.”
