Automakers also emphasised consistent monthly performance and segment-wise balance to maintain momentum in an evolving demand environment.

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd Reports Record-Breaking Performance

Maruti Suzuki reported total sales of 1,87,704 units in April 2026, registering a strong 35 percent  year-on-year growth and achieving its highest-ever monthly sales. The performance was largely driven by steady demand across segments, with the compact and mid-size category contributing 80,659 units. Entry-level models such as Alto K10, WagonR, and S-Presso together added 16,066 units, reflecting continued traction in the affordable segment. The eVitara recorded 2,006 units, with nearly 85 percent  coming from the 61kWh variant, indicating growing customer preference for higher-range electric vehicles.

Tata Motors Ltd Sustains Strong Growth with EV Push

Tata Motors reported sales of around 59,000 units in April 2026, registering a strong 30.5 percent  year-on-year growth compared to 45,199 units in the same period last year, while maintaining its second position in the market. The growth was mainly supported by continued demand for popular models like Nexon and Punch, which remain key volume drivers. The company also saw a sharp rise in its electric vehicle segment, with EV sales growing by 72.1 percent  YoY, strengthening its position in the electric mobility space..
