After slow start, auto sales set to end 2025 on a high
Business Standard
|December 29, 2025
India’s automobile sector is set to end 2025 on a high, with overall sales expected to cross 28 million units by December 31 in a sharp recovery from a dull start to the calendar year.
As of Sunday, total vehicle sales had reached 27.96 million units, based on data from the Vahan portal. At the current daily average of over 77,000 units, the industry is on track to close the year with over 28.2 million units.
This marks a strong recovery for the sector, which crossed its pre-pandemic peak of 25.4 million units recorded in 2018 only in 2024 (26.2 million units).
Industry experts attribute this surge mainly to goods and services tax (GST) rationalisation, revised income-tax (IT) slabs, and four rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of India, which boosted disposable incomes of customers.
