The Indian automobile industry has closed November 2025 on a record high, signaling robust domestic demand and a significant recovery in the passenger vehicle segment. Leading the charge is Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), which reported its highest-ever monthly sales volume since inception.
This surge in demand, shared by major rivals, has reinforced the positive consumer sentiment in the post-festive season.
Maruti Suzuki Sets New Records
Maruti Suzuki’s performance in November 2025 was nothing short of historic, driven by growth in both domestic and international markets:
- Total Sales Record: MSIL registered total monthly sales of 2,29,021 units, surpassing all previous monthly figures.
- Domestic Dominance: Domestic sales stood at 1,74,593 units, a substantial increase from the 1,44,238 units sold in November last year.
- Export Milestone: The company also achieved its highest-ever monthly export tally, shipping 46,057 units, underscoring India’s growing role as a global manufacturing hub for the automaker.
- Growth Drivers: The Utility Vehicle (SUV) portfolio (Brezza, Ertiga, Grand Vitara, etc.) remained the biggest growth engine, alongside a strong recovery in the high-volume Compact segment (Baleno, Swift, WagonR, etc.).
Rivals Share the Momentum
The strong performance was not limited to the market leader; other major automakers also posted impressive double-digit growth figures, reflecting a healthy overall market:
- Tata Motors: Reported robust total sales of 59,199 units, a strong 26% increase year-on-year. Domestic passenger vehicle sales, including electric vehicles, rose 22%.
- Mahindra & Mahindra: Maintained its strong SUV momentum, securing the third spot with 56,336 units, representing a 21.88% growth compared to last year.
- Hyundai Motor India: Recorded total sales of 66,840 units, marking a 9% year-on-year growth, with a particularly sharp 26.9% increase in exports.
- Kia India: Delivered its best-ever November sales since entering the market, achieving a 24% year-on-year increase.
- Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM): Saw a 28% increase in sales, driven by models like the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Fortuner.
Automakers widely attribute this sustained high demand to the positive impact of the GST rate cuts implemented in September, which lowered vehicle prices and significantly bolstered consumer purchasing confidence leading into the year’s end.
