September 2026 car retail sales: Mahindra beats Tata to second place

The Indian passenger vehicle market grew by 32.1% year-on-year in September 2026, with a total of 4,27,213 units sold. Mahindra beat Tata to secure the second position in sales. The growth can be attributed to a slowdown in demand during September 2025 due to anticipation of imminent price hikes.
