SIAM News: The two-wheeler segment bore the brunt of the slowdown, registering a steep 16.7% drop in sales to 14,58,784 units. The fall was most pronounced in motorcycles, which saw volumes dip 22.7%. Scooter sales were down 5.7%, while mopeds declined 7.6%.
In April 2025, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) reported a significant increase in passenger vehicle sales, reaching 3.49 lakh units, marking a 39% rise compared to the previous year. This growth was attributed to strong demand for utility vehicles and new model launches. Conversely, the two-wheeler segment experienced a decline, with sales dropping to 12.4 lakh units, a decrease of 16% from the previous year, primarily due to reduced demand for entry-level models and increased competition from electric vehicles. Additionally, three-wheeler sales saw a modest increase of 7%, totaling 52,000 units, reflecting a steady but slow recovery in the commercial vehicle sector.
