Passenger Vehicle sales month by month, H2 FY 2024-25
India's passenger vehicle market registered 23,54,752 passenger vehicles in H2 FY 2024-25. Volumes rose 7.6% against the 21,87,539 logged over the same 6 months of H2 FY 2023-24.
Passenger vehicles (PV, also called 4W) are privately registered cars and UVs plus taxis and cabs, which Vahan books as a class of their own. In H2 FY 2024-25 that was 21,88,075 cars and UVs and 1,66,677 taxis and cabs; taxis were 7.1% of the total. Against H2 FY 2023-24, cars and UVs were +7.8% and taxis +5.9%.
October was the strongest month of the period at 5,12,201 passenger vehicles and December the quietest at 3,09,635, an average of 3,92,459 a month. 3 of those 6 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.

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.
