Overall Market Analysis – November 2025

SUVs continue to dominate the auto market in India as marquee names Mahindra, Hyundai, Tata, Kia, and Toyota, rely on their SUV offerings for a significant portion of their sales. Meanwhile, electric cars continue to gain ground, if only in part due to Tata launching more EVs, Mahindra focusing on its new-age electrics, and Citroën having the eC3 on offer. However, Maruti Suzuki continues to dominate the market, hitting the 1.5 lakh sales mark and dominating the hatchback, sedan, and MPV segments. In the higher-end segment, Skoda continues to enjoy a steady sales figure, appealing to a smaller segment of luxury buyers that appreciate the brand’s European flair and dynamic handling. November tends to be a slow month for car sales as buyers tend to wait for the festive season to make bigger purchases. However, with some buyers looking to get money back on their tax, multiple manufacturers saw an increase in sales to clear inventory ahead of the year-end.
