Domestic passenger vehicle dispatches from companies to dealers increased 10.6% year-on-year to 4,17,705 units in February, compared with 3,77,689 units in February 2025, according to data released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).
The growth in passenger vehicle sales during the month was primarily driven by strong demand for utility vehicles, which recorded a 13.5% rise to 2,36,957 units, up from 2,08,795 units in the same month last year.
However, the industry body cautioned that the ongoing conflict in West Asia remains a concern as it could potentially impact manufacturing and exports going forward.
