India's September Auto Sales Show Growth in Vehicles, Tractor Sales Lag
India's automobile sector is expected to see strong year-on-year growth in September 2026, with passenger vehicles projected to rise around 20-25%, supported by affordability, new launches, and financing. Commercial vehicles and two-wheelers are also forecasted to grow, benefiting from positive market trends and exports. In contrast, tractor sales are likely to decline or show minimal growth due to a high base last year and regional subsidy effects. Leading manufacturers like Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, and Bajaj Auto anticipate significant volume increases.
