Top Best-Selling Car Brands in June 2025 in India: Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra, Hyundai Lead the Charts

Tata Motors broke Maruti Suzuki's 40-year record by selling approximately 2,02,030 units of its micro-SUV, the Tata Punch, which topped the best-selling car charts in 2024. The shift in consumer preference towards SUVs, along with Tata's competitive pricing and features, contributed to this achievement, marking a significant change in the Indian automotive landscape.

Maruti Suzuki's decline in domestic sales in June 2025 can be attributed to several factors, including increased competition from other automakers, changing consumer preferences, and possibly an oversaturation in the market. The company experienced a significant 13.30% drop in domestic sales compared to the previous year, indicating a need to reassess its market strategies.

Recent trends in the Indian car market show a significant shift towards SUVs, with consumers increasingly preferring larger vehicles over traditional hatchbacks and sedans. This shift is evidenced by the success of models like Tata Punch and Hyundai Creta, which have become best-sellers, reflecting a growing demand for vehicles that offer more space and perceived safety.

In June 2025, Mahindra and Mahindra saw a remarkable 64.4% increase in exports, dispatching 1,023 units compared to 622 units in June 2024. This growth in exports reflects the brand's expanding global footprint and increasing demand for its vehicles in international markets, alongside its strong domestic performance.

Hyundai Motor India posted total sales of 1,32,259 units in domestic sales for the April–June quarter of FY2026, with exports contributing an additional 48,140 units. The export share reached 26.7% of total quarterly sales, indicating a strong performance in both domestic and international markets, despite some recent struggles in domestic sales.
