India's auto retail sales saw a significant year-on-year growth of 40.5% in October 2025, reaching an all-time high.

The surge was driven by GST 2.0-led affordability, strong festive sentiment, and revived rural demand.

Two-wheelers saw a significant increase of 51.8%, followed by passenger vehicles at 11.35%, and commercial vehicles at 17.7%.

Rural India was a key growth engine, with rural passenger vehicle sales growing over three times faster than urban markets and rural two-wheeler sales nearly doubling urban growth rates.
