India automobile industry sees sales surge and new model launches

India’s automobile industry is experiencing significant growth and product expansion as the festive season approaches. In September 2026, several manufacturers reported strong sales figures across various segments, including passenger and commercial vehicles.

Maruti Suzuki reported September sales of 236,013 units, a 24% increase, while Tata Motors saw its passenger vehicle segment achieve its best quarter ever with 201,723 units sold between July and September.

Additionally, Audi will release a revised Q3, and Renault is scheduled to launch a Duster hybrid model.
