Commenting on October-2026 performance, Mr Rajesh Menon, Director General, SIAM said, “Indian automobile industry continues to witness healthy demand momentum. Passenger Vehicles recorded sales of 5.19 lakh units with a growth of 12.4%, while Two-Wheeler sales reached 25.78 lakh units, registering a growth of 16.1% compared to October 2025. Three-Wheeler sales stood at 1.03 lakh units, growing by 25.7% over the same period last year.
The Passenger Vehicle segment achieved its strongest-ever October performance, crossing the significant milestone of 5 lakh units in monthly sales. In the Two-Wheeler segment, demand continues to be supported by improved credit availability and replacement demand, across both rural and urban markets. For Three-Wheelers, last-mile mobility requirements and rapid electrification remain strong structural drivers. Overall, the demand outlook remains positive.”
