Federation of Automotive Dealers Associations (FADA) has
said that overall automobile retail sales in India grew a modest 2.95 per cent
in April 2025 to 22,87,952 units with completion of purchases by customers
around Chaitra Navratri, Akshay Tritiya, Bengali New Year, Baisakhi and Vishu
helping April end on a positive note. Total automobile sales in India in April
2024 stood at 22,22,463 units.
FADA said all categories except commercial vehicles (CV)
closed in the green, with two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger vehicles (PV)
and tractor up 2.25 per cent, 24.5 per cent, 1.5 per cent, and 7.5 per cent,
respectively, while CVs declined 1 per cent. Two-wheeler retail sales stood at
16,86,774 units in April 2025 as against 16,49,591 units in the same month last
year, up 2.25 per cent. PV retail stood at 3,49,939 units in April 2025 as
compared to 3,44,594 units in April 2024, up 1.55 per cent.
It said CV retail sales declined 1.05 per cent to 90,558
units in April 2025 as against 91,516 units in April 2024. On the other hand,
tractor retail grew 7.56 per cent to 60,915 units, compared to 56,635 units in
the year-ago month. Three-wheeler segment witnessed a robust 24.51 per cent
rise at 99,766 in April 2025 as compared to 80,127 units in April 2024.
On the outlook, FADA said dealer feedback paints a nuanced
picture for May across all segments with PV retails expected to hold steady but
muted, as buyers await new-model roll-outs and contend with elevated financing
costs.
