2024/12/23

Summary

  2023 marked a significant milestone for passenger vehicle sales in India, with the country recording over 4 million units sold. It was the third consecutive year of growth, solidifying India's position as the world's third-largest car market. This performance reflects India's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

  In 2023, the Indian passenger vehicle car market experienced notable growth, despite rising fuel and car prices, increasing interest rates, and unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations. It is driven by a strong demand. This was further supported by a wave of new launches in the increasingly popular SUV segment.

  Additionally, the easing of supply constraints helped strengthen production and delivery capabilities. Several OEMs also reported a significant increase in exports, further contributing to the positive momentum in the automotive sector.

  The report provides an overview of the Indian passenger car market's performance in 2023-24, including an analysis of OEMs, government support for the automotive industry, and a sales forecast from GlobalData.
