Automobile sector sales showed strong growth in December 2025, with domestic passenger vehicle wholesale sales increasing by 25.8% year-on-year. Major manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Tata Motors reported significant sales gains. Analysts attribute this optimism to improved consumer sentiment, rural demand recovery, and lean inventories, further boosted by GST cuts and a favorable marriage season. The outlook for the financial year remains positive due to gradual demand recovery and new model launches.
