Maruti Suzuki was the top-selling passenger vehicle maker in India in October 2026, registering 2,11,444 units. The figures come from a VAHAN registration snapshot shared by Tata Motors, which ranked second with 73,002 units. Mahindra was third with 64,248 units and Hyundai Motor India fourth with 57,883.
Across the 14 manufacturers in the table, combined registrations reached 4,98,208, just 1,792 short of five lakh. The four leading companies together account for 4,06,577 registrations, or about 81.6 percent of that total. Kia was fifth with 30,657 units and Toyota sixth with 28,323. Skoda Volkswagen recorded 9,083 and MG 7,014. Honda, Renault, Nissan, VinFast, Stellantis and BYD made up the rest of the list, with BYD at 735 units.
Electric vehicles
Tata Motors also led the electric passenger vehicle segment, registering 14,552 EVs in October. Mahindra followed with 8,472 and MG with 5,877. Electric vehicles made up 7.2 percent of the listed total, with 35,777 units across the EV table. Tata's EV count was about 19.9 percent of its own passenger vehicle registrations, close to one in five cars.
The month covered the Navratri and Dussehra buying period. Carmakers increased output ahead of Dhanteras and Diwali, which fall in November. Maruti Suzuki added a production day in October, and Tata Motors ran operations on some Sundays to improve supplies to dealers.
The table does not cover every manufacturer, and registration data can still be revised. Company-reported delivery figures are separate from VAHAN registrations and are not directly comparable with them.
