Vehicle sales month by month, FY 2026-27
The Indian vehicle market registered 1,55,77,060 vehicles in FY 2026-27 so far. Volumes pushed ahead 20.9% against the 1,28,79,778 logged over the same 6 months of FY 2025-26.
April was the strongest month of the period at 27,26,472 vehicles and August the quietest at 24,65,170, an average of 25,96,177 a month. Every one of those 6 months grew on the same month a year earlier.

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.
