Full Vahan registration report for July 2024 — every major manufacturer ranked, with month-on-month and year-on-year change, segment share, fuel mix and the state-wise picture.
How July went
India's passenger car market registered 3,12,973 vehicles in July 2024. Volumes rose sharply 12.3% against July 2023, and pushed ahead 13.5% on June.
Year to date, 22,34,534 units have been registered across 7 months, +5.0% on the same stretch of 2023 (21,27,759). The segment accounted for 14.6% of every vehicle registered in India that month.
July sits inside the monsoon, historically a soft month for urban showroom footfall and a strong one for farm equipment.
These are privately registered cars and UVs. Vahan books taxis and cabs as a class of their own, another 30,003 in July 2024, and passenger-vehicle figures published elsewhere usually include them. With taxis, the month comes to 3,42,976.

Source. Every figure is a vehicle registration, taken daily from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) — the same source FADA and the industry use for retail data. Registrations are not the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce each month. "EV" means battery electric (Vahan fuels PURE EV and ELECTRIC(BOV)); hybrids are counted separately.
