Maruti, Hyundai see double-digit fall in June sales

Automakers Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Motor India reported a double-digit drop in vehicle dispatches in July amid a demand slowdown in the domestic market.

Mahindra & Mahindra saw an increase in dispatches to dealers last month, while Tata Motors witnessed a dip compared to June last year.

The country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki said its total domestic passenger vehicle dispatches to dealers dipped 13 per cent to 1,18,906 units last month compared to 1,37,160 units in the year-ago period.

Sales of mini-segment cars Alto and S-Presso declined to 6,414 units against 9,395 units in the same month last year.

Sales of compact cars, including Baleno, Celerio, Dzire, Ignis, Swift, and WagonR, also fell to 54,177 units from 64,049 units in June 2024.

Utility vehicles Grand Vitara, Brezza, Ertiga, XL6, and Jimny clocked sales of 47,947 units last month compared to 52,373 units earlier.

"The slowdown in passenger vehicle sales is largely due to a sharp decline in the smaller segment cars. Historically, passenger vehicle sales used to grow at 1.5 times the GDP growth. But now, even after 6.5 per cent GDP growth, the car market is nearly flat," MSI Senior Executive Officer Rahul Bharti said.

This is because the once mass small car segment is not participating in the growth at all, he added.

"This is clearly an affordability issue," Bharti said.

Hyundai Motor India said its dispatches to dealers in the domestic market declined 12 per cent to 44,024 units in June compared to 50,103 units in the year-ago period.

"In the domestic market, the geopolitical situation continued to affect the market sentiment," Tarun Garg, Whole-time Director and Chief Operating Officer, HMIL, said in a statement.

As the company comes closer to the beginning of production at the Talegaon plant, it remains cautiously optimistic about a gradual recovery of demand, supported by a reduction in repo rates and improving liquidity on account of a cut in CRR, he added.

"We are closely watching the global geopolitical scenario and are committed to delivering value and innovation to our customers across both domestic and export markets," Garg said.

Tata Motors' domestic sales dip 12% to 65,019 units in June

Tata Motors reported 12 per cent decline in total domestic wholesales at 65,019 units in June as compared with 74,147 units in the same month last year.

Sales of passenger vehicles, including electric vehicles, in the domestic market, were down 15 per cent at 37,083 units as compared with 43,524 units in the year-ago month, Tata Motors said in a regulatory filing.

Total commercial vehicle sales in the domestic market fell 12 per cent to 27,936 units from 30,623 units in June last year.

"With forecasts for a healthy monsoon across the country, reduction in repo rate and renewing thrust on infrastructure development, we expect commercial vehicles volumes to improve progressively in the coming quarters," Executive Director Girish Wagh said.

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles MD Shailesh Chandra said: " Looking ahead, while overall industry growth is expected to remain subdued, Tata Motors is well positioned to leverage its new launches to outperform across segments—including hatchbacks and SUVs, while continuing to build on the EV momentum."

Audi retail sales decline 14% in Jan-Jun at 2,128 units

Luxury carmaker Audi said its half-yearly retail sales declined 14 per cent year-on-year to 2,128 units.

The company sold 2,477 units in the January-June period of last year.

The brand with the four rings is facing headwinds as slowing demand — driven by price increases from a weakening exchange rate and heightened market uncertainty amid evolving geopolitical tensions — continues to impact performance, Audi India said in a statement.

However, the company remains confident in the growth of the Indian luxury car market in the forthcoming festive season, driven by growing customer aspirations, it added.

"While H1 2025 presented unique market challenges, we have used this period to strengthen our foundation for sustainable growth," Audi India Head Balbir Singh Dhillon said.

By prioritising a luxury-first approach and delivering exceptional customer experiences, the automaker continues to reinforce brand loyalty, he added.

"We see growth potential in the luxury segment in the second half of the year, fueled by new product introductions, our digital-first approach and unwavering focus on customer satisfaction," Dhillon said.

The company said its pre-owned car business showed resilience with steady performance and grew by 10 per cent year-on-year in the January-June period this year.
