Automobile retail sales increased by 9% year-on-year in the June quarter of FY25, reaching 61,91,225 units, up from 56,59,060 units in the same quarter of FY24, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). Passenger vehicle sales grew by 2.53% to 9,20,047 units. Despite strong bookings, high competition, excess supply, and discounting posed challenges. Extreme heat led to an 18% drop in showroom walk-ins in May. Two-wheeler sales rose by 12.56% to 45,54,255 units, while three-wheeler sales increased by 11.36%. Commercial vehicle sales saw a marginal rise, but tractor sales declined by 12.44%.
