India passenger vehicle dispatches rise 33% to 4.7 lakh units in July

India’s passenger vehicle industry posted a 33% jump in wholesale dispatches in July, reaching about 4.7 lakh units, driven by record monthly sales from Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai. The gains extended across most major carmakers, including Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Honda, Kia, Toyota, MG Motor, and Nissan.

Maruti Suzuki (MARUTI) sold 1,96,203 vehicles in the domestic market last month, its best-ever monthly figure. That was up 43.4% from 1,37,776 units in July 2025. Partho Banerjee, senior executive officer of marketing and sales at Maruti Suzuki, told reporters the company saw “all-round growth across segments from entry-level small cars to SUVs.” He added that demand for CNG models remained robust.

Hyundai Motor India (HYUNDAI) also reported an all-time high of 54,210 units, a 23.3% increase from a year earlier. “Our highest-ever monthly volume since inception underscores the immense trust consumers place in brand Hyundai,” Managing Director Tarun Garg said.

Tata Motors (TATAMOTORS) recorded a 58% jump in domestic passenger vehicle sales to 62,611 units, compared with 39,521 units in July 2025. Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) posted a 20% increase in utility vehicle sales to 60,048 units, up from 49,871 units a year ago.
