      <description><![CDATA[India's automobile retail sales in October 2026 declined about 24% year-on-year due to a high base effect from last year's combined Navratri and Diwali festivals and GST rate cuts.

Two-wheelers and passenger vehicles saw declines, while commercial vehicles, three-wheelers, and tractors posted growth. Electric vehicle sales surged 45%, reaching a record 355,000 units, though supply constraints limited penetration gains.
