Indian automobile retail sales as denoted by new registrations across all categories have been provisionally estimated at 2,722,558 units in January 2026, a rise of 18 percent year on year, according to data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers’ Association (FADA) on Tuesday, February 10.
Passenger vehicle retails stood at 513,475 units, a growth of seven percent year on year, FADA said.
Two-wheeler retail sales increased by 21 percent in January to 18,52,870 units, while three-wheeler and commercial vehicle retail sales growth was 19 percent and 15 percent year on year, respectively.
As regards the market outlook, FADA said that passenger vehicles should see a strong performance in February and March on the back of booking pipeline strength, excitement over new models and variants, and financial year-end buying.
April registrations could normalise as festive intensity fades and base effects may play out unevenly across brands and regions, it added.
