Mumbai, Feb 7: Car sales in India surged by a robust 15.53 per cent to 4,65,920 in January this year compared to 2,93,465 units in the same month last year, according to data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) on Thursday. Sequentially, month-on-month car sales were up 58.77 per cent.
“PV (passenger-vehicle) sales grew robustly, although some of that spike stems from December purchases registered in January for a 2025 model year advantage,” FADA President CS Vigneshwar said in a statement.
“Inventory levels have improved, dropping by around five days to 50-55 days, suggesting improved supply-demand balance. Many dealers noted improved demand, but also pointed to last year’s heavy discounting, which helped clear older models and shift registrations,” he added.
