Hybrid Sales Q3 FY 2024-25: 97,699 Units, Up 28% YoY
Every hybrid registered in India over Q3 FY 2024-25 — October 2024 to December 2024. Q3 of the financial year, October to December. Month-by-month volumes, the manufacturer leaderboard, which segments those hybrids are in, and the same window in every earlier year on record.
Hybrid sales month by month, Q3 FY 2024-25
India's hybrid vehicle market registered 97,699 hybrids in Q3 FY 2024-25. Volumes climbed sharply 28.2% against the 76,195 logged over the same 3 months of Q3 FY 2023-24.
October was the strongest month of the period at 42,387 hybrids and December the quietest at 27,147, an average of 32,566 a month. Every one of those 3 months grew on the same month a year earlier.
October is the festive peak. Navratri and Diwali make it the single biggest registration month of most years, so year-on-year comparisons swing on where the festivals fall.
Q3 FY 2024-25 ran from October 2024 to December 2024 and is closed. Every month in the table below is final, and every comparison on this page is against the matching month of Q3 FY 2023-24.

Who is selling the hybrids
Our Vahan data holds manufacturer volumes split by fuel only across a whole calendar year, so the hybrid leaderboard below covers full-year 2024 rather than Q3 FY 2024-25 alone. It is exact for that window.
Maruti Suzuki holds 65.8% of hybrid registrations over full-year 2024, 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. Information only, not investment advice.
