New Delhi [India], October 15 (ANI): India’s automobile sector recorded strong growth across all major segments in September 2025, supported by festive demand and the early impact of GST 2.0 reforms, according to data released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) on Wednesday. Passenger vehicle sales reached 372,458 units in September 2025, up 4.4 per cent from 356,752 units in the same month last year. Two-wheeler sales rose 6.7 per cent to 2,160,889 units from 2,025,993 units in September 2024, driven by higher rural demand and improved affordability. Three-wheeler sales also increased 5.5 per cent, reaching 84,077 units compared to 79,683 units last year.
SIAM noted that this year, the festive season began earlier, starting on September 22 with Navratri, which helped stimulate retail activity during the latter part of Q2. The extended festive and wedding season is expected to sustain growth momentum through Q3, reinforcing positive consumer sentiment across all vehicle categories.
The association added that the Kharif harvest is expected to be broadly healthy, supported by an above-normal monsoon, although flooding in parts of the North, West, and Eastern regions temporarily affected certain crops and logistics. Despite these disruptions, overall agricultural output and rural sentiment remain stable, likely supporting rural consumption and mobility demand in the second half of the year.
SIAM further highlighted that the rollout of GST 2.0 reforms, combined with earlier RBI rate rationalization measures and Income Tax relief for taxpayers, is expected to maintain buying interest across all vehicle segments through the festive and post-festive months. The industry remains watchful of geopolitical developments, but the overall outlook for the rest of the current financial year remains encouraging, with the sector expected to close the fiscal year on a positive growth trajectory.
