In FY25, overall automotive sales grew by 6.46 percent, while the two-wheeler segment saw a YoY growth of 7.71 percent and PVs saw a growth of 4.87 percent. Two-wheeler sales in the rural market grew by 8.39 percent as compared to 6.77 percent in the urban areas, while PV sales also did better in rural markets, witnessing a growth of 7.93% growth, compared to 3.07 percent in urban markets.
Speaking of sales, FADA President, CS Vigneshwar, shared his perspective on the Auto Retail performance for FY 2025:
“FY25 truly showcased how adaptable and resilient India’s auto retail sector can be. Our initial forecast of low single-digit growth—around 5%—for Passenger Vehicles ended up hitting the mark almost perfectly at 4.87%. While we hoped for double digits in Two-Wheelers, we ended up at 7.71%. Commercial Vehicles, on the other hand, came in nearly flat at -0.17%, reminding us just how much factors like unpredictable weather, financing constraints, and shifting consumer sentiment can shape overall demand.”
“A key highlight this year was the strong performance in rural areas. Two-wheelers in rural markets grew by 8.39%, comfortably outpacing the urban growth of 6.77%, while Three-Wheelers saw an even bigger contrast at 8.70% in rural regions versus just 0.28% in urban. Even Passenger Vehicles posted 7.93% in rural sales, compared to 3.07% in cities.”
Although two-wheelers reported a YoY growth in terms of FY25 sales, March 2025 sales saw a decline of 1.7 percent compared to March 2024. Two-wheeler sales in March 2025 accounted for 15,08,232 units compared to 15,35,398 units sold in March 2024. However, PVs registered positive growth, selling 3,50,603 units last month compared to 3,29,946 units sold in March 2024.
