The month of September 2025 has proved to be a great one for the Indian automobile industry. According to the report of SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers), after the implementation of GST 2.0, there has been a historic jump in the sales of cars, bikes and rickshaws. The beginning of the festive season, the benefit of new GST rates and increasing purchases by customers have given a new impetus to the entire sector. Let us look at the report in detail.
4% increase in sales of passenger vehicles
- A total of 3,72,458 passenger vehicles were sold in India in September 2025. Last year in September 2024, this figure was 3,56,752 units. This means that this time there has been a growth of about 4.4% in sales. This increase was due to the offers and new model launches given by companies like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors and Mahindra before the festive season. People took advantage of the discounts and better finance schemes, which led to a good surge in sales.
Sales of two wheelers broke records
- This year the sale of two-wheelers caught everyone’s attention. A total of 21,60,889 two-wheelers were sold in September 2025, which is about 7% more than last year’s 20,25,993 units. Companies like Hero MotoCorp, Honda, TVS and Bajaj Auto captured both rural and urban markets through festive offers and easy EMI schemes. Increasing income of farmers in rural areas and expectation of good harvest have also boosted bike sales.
Growth trend seen in sales of three-wheelers also
- Good growth was also recorded this time in the three-wheeler segment. 84,077 units were sold in September 2025, whereas last year this number was 79,683 units. This is an annual growth of 5.5%. The biggest reason for this growth is the increasing demand for e-rickshaws and CNG auto rickshaws. The GST concessions and subsidy schemes being given by the government on electric vehicles are also playing a big role in this growth.
SIAM President gave a big reaction
- SIAM President Shailesh Chandra said that after the implementation of GST 2.0, a big positive change has been seen in the auto industry. According to him, “After the new GST rates, passenger vehicles, two-wheelers and three-wheelers have seen the highest ever sales in all three segments. This will prove to be a new chapter for the Indian auto sector.”
Mixed performance in July-September 2025 quarter
- According to the SIAM report, the performance in the quarter from July to September 2025 was excellent in some segments, while there was a slight decline in others. Quarterly sales of Passenger Vehicles stood at 10,39,200 units, which is slightly less than last year’s 10,55,137 units. At the same time, sales of two-wheelers increased by 7% and a total of 55,62,077 units were sold. Three-Wheelers also registered an annual growth of 10%. These figures show that a period of recovery has begun in the market.
