2,72,53,707 vehicles were registered in India in FY 2024-25, according to Vahan registration data covering April 2024 to March 2025. That is +6.4% against the 2,56,22,921 registered over the same months of FY 2023-24.

FY 2024-25 runs April to March — April 2024 to March 2025, all 12 months complete. India's financial year runs from 1 April to 31 March, which is the year every listed automaker reports on.
Which manufacturer sold the most vehicles in FY 2024-25?
Hero MotoCorp led with 55,51,364 registrations across the period, ahead of Honda 2W (HMSI) on 50,42,033. These are each manufacturer's total across every vehicle type it sells, so they are whole-company registrations.
Which was the strongest month for vehicle sales in FY 2024-25?

Which financial year had the highest vehicle sales?
Of the 3 comparable windows in our record, FY 2025-26 is the largest at 3,08,42,748 registrations.
Are these retail sales or factory dispatches?
Retail. Every figure is a vehicle registration recorded on the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard — the same source FADA uses — not the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce each month. Registrations reach Vahan a few days after the sale, so recent months keep rising slightly for a while after they close.
