The Indian automobile industry has long served as a reliable barometer of the country’s economic health, given its critical role in driving both macroeconomic growth and technological innovation. Among its various segments, two-wheelers lead the market in volume, fueled by a rising middle class and a youth-heavy demographic that continues to demand affordable and efficient mobility solutions.
India also holds a prominent position in the global heavy vehicles market—ranking as the world’s largest tractor manufacturer, second-largest bus producer, and third-largest maker of heavy trucks. Additionally, India has emerged as a significant automobile exporter, with strong growth prospects in international markets.
Government initiatives such as the Automotive Mission Plan 2026, the Vehicle Scrappage Policy, and the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme are poised to strengthen India’s position as a global automotive hub. These policies aim to boost manufacturing competitiveness, promote sustainable mobility, and position India among the top global players in both the two-wheeler and four-wheeler markets in the coming years.
Against this backdrop of long-term growth, let us have a look at the monthly auto sales figures for May 2025, offering fresh insight into the industry's current momentum and market dynamics
