Tata Motors registered sales of 41,557 units in May 2025 reporting a YoY and MoM decline in demand
In May 2025, the Indian passenger car segment faced significant challenges. There was the Indo-Pakistan conflict that severely affected sales especially in Northern India. This was accompanied by unseasonal rains across the country that also dampened buyer sentiment.
There has been a marginal 0.2% YoY growth to a total of 3,49,713 units while MoM sales were down by 1.1%. Most OEMs on this list ended the month in the red. However, one startling fact was that the Maruti Suzuki Dzire sedan replaced Hyundai Creta as the best-selling car in India.
