Who is selling the hybrids
Vahan publishes manufacturer volumes split by fuel only across a whole calendar year, so the hybrid leaderboard below covers full-year 2025 rather than CY 2025 alone. It is exact for that window.
Maruti Suzuki holds 59.3% of hybrid registrations over full-year 2025, ahead of Toyota Kirloskar.

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.
