GST REFORMS BOOST CAR SALES
The Free Press Journal - Indore
|October 02, 2025
Auto majors Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra reported robust sales in September as reduced price tags owing to GST rationalisation led to record demand in the Navaratri period.
The month also saw Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra settling at number two and three positions, respectively in vehicle wholesales ahead of Hyundai Motor India.
Maruti Suzuki India said its total domestic passenger vehicle dispatches to dealers stood at 1,32,820 units last month compared with 1,44,962 units in the year-ago period, a dip of 8%. The domestic wholesale figure for the month should be seen in the context of logistical constraints towards the last part of the month, the auto major stated.
In a virtual press conference, Maruti Suzuki India Senior Executive Officer for Marketing and Sales Partho Banerjee said the company's retail sales were 1.73 lakh units last month, an increase of 27.5 per cent as compared with September 2024.
