India's Auto Sales Grow Strongly in FY27 H1 Amid High PLI Incentives and Demand
India's automobile industry showed strong growth in FY27's first half, with passenger vehicle sales reaching record highs, including 5.19 lakh units in October 2026, a 12.4% year-on-year increase. Two-wheelers and three-wheelers also posted significant gains, supported by factors like improved credit access, electrification, and last-mile mobility demand. However, growth rates may moderate in the second half due to a high comparison base from FY26. Bajaj Auto led production-linked incentive payouts in FY26, followed by Tata Motors and Ola Electric, amid rising investments but slower job creation under the scheme.
