India's Auto Sales Rise 18% in Q2 FY27 with Record Growth Across Segments
India's automobile sector saw significant growth in the second quarter of FY2026-27, with total domestic sales rising 18.2% year-on-year to 83.88 lakh units, marking record Q2 sales across passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and commercial vehicles, according to SIAM. Passenger vehicle sales increased 30.7%, led by utility vehicles, while two-wheeler sales grew 15.2%, driven by scooters. Exports rose in several categories despite some declines due to logistics issues. Growth is attributed to improved affordability post-GST 2.0, strong rural and urban demand, infrastructure activity, and a replacement cycle, with expectations of continued growth supported by festive demand and new launches.
