Q1 Vehicle Registration Figures for Financial Year 2025

Jammu Tawi: On releasing Q1 figures, FADA President Manish Raj Singhania said: “The Indian Auto Retail sector has demonstrated a commendable performance in Q1 of FY25, achieving a substantial overall growth of 9.40% YoY. This positive momentum was primarily driven by robust gains in the 2/3W segments. Two-Wheelers (2W) led the charge with an impressive 12.56% YoY increase, followed by Three-Wheelers (3W) with an 11.36% rise, Passenger Vehicles (PV) with a 2.53% growth and Commercial Vehicles (CV) growing by mere 0.7%. However, the Tractor (Trac) segment faced a decline of 12.44%.This year, the monsoon’s advancement up to Maharashtra was on track, but it lost momentum thereafter, delaying rains in key states such as West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. This situation exacerbated the severe heatwave in northwest India, leading to a prolonged dry spell. The intensified heatwave not only delayed the sowing operations of kharif crops in northern and north-western regions but also adversely impacted rural sales.The recovery in the 2W segment is promising, largely due to the emerging performance in rural areas, although these are early trends. At the end of Q1, the PV segment has shown resilience but continues to face headwinds from environmental and market challenges.FADA remains committed to advocating for prudent inventory control, improved financing options and strategic planning to ensure the auto retail sector’s resilience and sustained growth. Our focus is on elevating the customer experience and revitalizing dealer synergy as we continue to transform the future of auto retail in India.
