Indian auto exports rise sharply as home market remains sluggish in June: Report
Domestic passenger vehicle sales declined by 7–8 per cent YoY in June 2025, driven by weaker performances from key players like Hyundai, Tata Motors, and Maruti Suzuki. But firms like Mahindra & Mahindra, JSW MG, and Toyota posted decent growth, which muted the general decline (Photo is representational) Check Offers The Indian automotive industry has sustained its growth momentum from the success of exports in its main segments- two-wheelers (2W), commercial vehicles (CV), and passenger vehicles (PV)- even as domestic sales have been more uneven, or mixed. According to a report released by Axis Securities for June 2025, the outstanding overseas demand continues to be a strong engine for growth, but homegrown consumption demonstrates different patterns for categories and manufacturers. Two-wheeler exports shine amid domestic slowdown The two-wheeler segment registered a marginal 2 per cent growth in overall wholesale volumes in June 2025. However, this uptick was almost entirely fueled by a striking 35 per cent year-on-year (YoY) rise in exports. Domestic sales, on the contrary, decreased by 3 per cent YoY, indicating a discord between the development of global and local markets. Also Read : Indian auto industry starts FY26 on mixed note: Domestic sales dip, exports see sharp rise The report also noted an increase in Q1FY26 two-wheeler exports of 22 per cent, while domestic volumes for the quarter were down by 6 per cent YoY. Axis Securities noted that the segment's outlook could improve on the back of several upside triggers such as a rural demand revival, new model launches, favourable fiscal policies, and restocking by manufacturers. Passenger vehicle sales dip but exports surge Domestic passenger vehicle sales declined by 7–8 per cent YoY in June 2025, driven by weaker performances from key players like Hyundai, Tata Motors, and Maruti Suzuki. But firms like Mahindra & Mahindra, JSW MG, and Toyota posted decent growth, which muted the general decline. In spite of the softness at home, exports in the segment continued to be a hope. Maruti Suzuki was the pace-setter with a 37 per cent increase in overseas sales, followed by Tata Motors (68 per cent), Hyundai (13 per cent), and Mahindra (36 per cent). As a result, PV exports are expected to sustain growth, while domestic volumes are projected to expand in the low-to-mid single-digit range in FY26. Also Read : Maruti Suzuki clocks 6 per cent sales decline in June 2025, exports cushion the blow CV segment flat The commercial vehicle segment saw a 2 per cent YoY dip in Q1FY26 wholesale volumes, largely due to declines from Tata Motors (-9 per cent) and flat performance from Ashok Leyland. Yet, VECV, M&M, and Maruti gained 9 per cent, 4 per cent, and 7 per cent respectively. Whereas Axis Securities has a conservative view of CVs—anticipating flat to low single-digit growth—it is expecting the bus sub-segment to drive hope in the face of increasing demand in public and institutional transportation. The report indicates that exporting markets are still likely to be the growth driver for India's auto space over the near term. Domestically, performance will depend on consumer attitudes, favourable trends in the rural economy, and regulatory support. With segments showing mixed trends, automakers may have to rethink strategies to sustain the momentum both in the domestic and export markets.

ICE cars steal sales show so far this year, EVs in very slow lane
The electric dream is alive, with glitzy EV launches and a loud government push, but India's bumper-to-bumper traffic remains largely fossil-fuelled. Nine out of 10 cars sold in the first half of 2025 run on internal combustion engines (ICEs). While the government has set an ambitious target for electric vehicles to make up 30% of all passenger vehicle sales by 2030, carmakers are hedging their bets, underscoring the wide gap between policy ambitions and market reality. Maruti Suzuki , India's largest carmaker, sold 87% ICE vehicles - those run on petrol, diesel and CNG - in the January-June period, with hybrid and mild hybrid EVs making up the remaining 13%, data collated by market researcher Jato Dynamics showed. The ICE share of Mahindra & Mahindra, which currently sells three EV models in the country and has several more lined up, was 93% during the period while Kia posted near 100% ICE sales. Clearly, the electric transition remains aspirational for most players, as consumers stay anchored to familiar, affordable technologies and remain reluctant to make the switch. "This is the nature of transition-it's gradual, uncertain, and complex," said a senior official of a Delhi-based car company who requested not to be identified. By 2030, however, electric and hybrid vehicles will account for at least 30-40% of the market - a big leap from the current under 10%, he added. Even Tata Motors, the market leader in electric cars, sold 88% ICE vehicles in the first half. A spokesperson said the firm's multi-powertrain strategy spanning petrol, diesel, CNG, and electric is "about giving consumers the power of choice while preparing for future shifts." Only two manufacturers bucked the trend. Toyota, with a diversified approach, saw 55% of sales come from combustion engines, balanced by 29% hybrids and 16% mild hybrids. JSW MG Motor went all-in on electric, targeting urban buyers willing to pay premium prices. As a result, 81% of its sales came from battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The government is playing its part, continuing to offer FAME II (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles) subsidies and pushing stricter emission norms. Yet, according to Ravi Bhatia , president of Jato Dynamics, price sensitivity and "charging anxiety" among consumers keep EVs largely confined to metro corridors. India's automotive landscape is not just vast, but deeply varied. Urban buyers prioritise convenience, while rural customers focus on affordability and durability. Some regions are seeing growing EV infrastructure, while others still struggle with basic electrification. That's why carmakers aren't putting all their eggs in one basket, Bhatia explained. CNG is gaining popularity in urban and semi-urban areas for its lower running costs. Diesel has lost its popularity but continues to dominate high-mileage segments such as SUVs. Petrol remains the most widely accessible fuel. Meanwhile, EVs are making quiet but steady inroads as infrastructure begins to improve. India's auto market could reach 7.5 million units by 2030, with electric and hybrid vehicles expected to capture a 30-40% share. Tata Motors has committed ₹33,000-35,000 crore toward its passenger and EV businesses from FY26 to FY30 to drive product-led growth, including seven all-new nameplates and 23 model updates across ICE, CNG and electric segments. As BS7 emission norms loom and global supply chains shift toward electrification, manufacturers are carefully balancing immediate consumer demand with long-term regulatory pressures. The question is no longer if the transition will happen, but which companies will survive the journey, industry executives said.

Maruti Suzuki And Hyundai Domestic Sales Dropped, But Exports Up in Apr-June 2025
According to company data, total domestic passenger vehicle sales fell to 1,18,906 units in June 2025 compared to 1,37,160 units in the same month last year. This marks a drop of 13.3 per cent year-on-year for June. The decline in sales was also visible in the first quarter of FY2025-26. From April to June 2025, Maruti Suzuki sold 3,93,572 passenger vehicles in the domestic market, compared to 4,19,114 units sold in the same period of FY2024-25. This represents about a 6.1 per cent decline in sales during the quarter. The sharpest fall was seen in the Mini and Compact car segments. Mini cars like Alto and S-Presso saw sales drop to 6,414 units in June 2025, down from 9,395 units a year ago. Compact cars such as Baleno, Celerio, Dzire, Ignis, Swift, and WagonR also saw a decline in sales to 54,177 units, down from 64,049 units in June 2024. Together, the Mini and Compact segments fell from 73,444 units to 60,591 units, indicating a weak demand in small car categories. Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) sales also saw a marginal drop, while export sales increased to 37,842 units in June 2025, up from 31,033 units a year ago. Overall, Maruti Suzuki's total domestic sales (including PV and LCV) stood at 1,21,339 units in June 2025, compared to 1,39,918 units in June 2024, showing a broader decline in local demand. Despite the dip in domestic sales, export performance showed growth, which helped the company limit the impact on total sales. The company exported 96,972 vehicles in April-June 2025 versus 70,560 vehicles in the same period in the previous year, a 22 per cent increase. On the other hand, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) sold 60,924 units in June 2025, out of which 44,024 units were sold in India and 16,900 units were exported. In the first quarter of the financial year 2026 (April to June), Hyundai sold 1,80,399 units in total. This included 1,32,259 units in domestic sales and 48,140 units in exports. Hyundai also achieved a 13 per cent year-on-year growth in exports during Q1 of FY2026, increasing from 42,600 units last year to 48,140 units this year. Exports made up 26.7 per cent of Hyundai's total sales, showing the company's growing focus on international markets. SUVs played a big role in Hyundai's domestic sales, contributing 67.6 per cent of total sales in India during June 2025. Tarun Garg, Whole-time Director and Chief Operating Officer, HMIL said, 'In the domestic market, the geopolitical situation continued to affect the market sentiment with domestic sales registering 44,024 units in June 2025."
