- Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles posted record wholesales of 61,295, with SUVs at a 77% share and EVs up to 9,286 units.
- Mahindra & Mahindra recorded its best-ever SUV month at 71,624 domestic units and 120,142 total vehicles, a 26% year-on-year rise.
- Other manufacturers also surged, with Kia hitting a record 29,556 and Toyota reaching 42,892, while Hyundai’s domestic sales dipped to 53,792.
- The spike reflects GST 2.0 cuts that moved many small cars to an 18% tax with the cess removed, plus concentrated Navratri–Diwali deliveries and some dispatch constraints.
