Passenger vehicle sales in India soared 33.2% year-on-year in August 2026, accelerating from a 31.2% jump in the previous month to 374,056 units, according to data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). The number of car sales recorded the highest-ever sales for August 2026, due to a lower base in the previous year and strong demand. The sharp increase was boosted by strong consumer confidence, resilient rural markets, improving financing conditions, and accelerating adoption of alternative drivetrains, creating a favorable ecosystem across vehicle categories. “Festive demand is also expected to provide an additional boost, resulting in healthy Q2 numbers,” Rajesh Menon, Director General of SIAM, said.
