Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) has said that India’s total automobile retail sales stood at 26,11,317 units in April 2026 as compared with 23,12,221 units in April 2025, a rise of 12.94 per cent. It noted that this robust performance is driven by sustained tailwinds from GST 2.0 affordability gains, RBI's supportive rate stance, healthy rural cash flows post a strong rabi cycle and an extended marriage season.
Among segments, two-wheelers clocked best-ever monthly numbers at 19,16,258 units in April this year as compared to 16,95,638 units in the same month a year ago, at a growth of 13.01 per cent. Passenger vehicle (PV) retail sales rose 12.21 per cent to 4,07,355 units in April 2026 from 3,63,028 units a year earlier.
Three-wheeler sales grew 7.19 per cent to 1,06,908 units in April 2026 from 99,741 units a year earlier. Commercial vehicle (CV) also witnessed a growth of 15.02 per cent at a record 99,339 units in April 2026 as compared to 86,364 units in April 2025.
