The Indian car market saw a bit of a bump in the road this June, with total passenger vehicle (PV) sales standing at 3,17,757 units — down 6.38% compared to June 2024. While some brands managed to grow or stay afloat, many top names like Maruti, Tata, and Hyundai witnessed sharp declines. But don’t worry, we’ve broken down all the numbers for you, who’s up, who’s down, and who’s made a surprise entry on the leaderboard.
Maruti still holds the top spot, but with a 13.31% drop, it’s lost quite a bit of momentum. Mahindra continues to grow steadily with strong SUV demand, and Skoda is the surprise star this month with almost double the sales compared to last year. Citroen is another small but strong performer with nearly 80% YoY growth.

The overall monthly trend wasn’t very cheerful either, with a 9.14% drop compared to May 2025. Maruti, Tata, and Mahindra saw major volume losses, while Honda, Volkswagen, and Citroen showed strong MoM growth. In fact, Citroen nearly doubled its numbers, riding on the back of increased demand and better dealership reach.
What’s Driving These Changes?
SUV demand continues to push Mahindra and Toyota ahead
Maruti’s decline hints at weaker demand in compact car segments
Hyundai is steady, thanks to its diversified lineup and new launches
Skoda and Citroen gain due to aggressive pricing and expanding networks
Tata’s EV momentum seems to be cooling off slightly this month
Final Thoughts
Even though the June 2025 sales chart wasn’t all smiles, the market is still holding strong. Mahindra’s SUV portfolio is helping it rise fast, and brands like Skoda and Citroen are finally making some real noise. Maruti and Tata need to regroup and possibly rethink their product strategies to bounce back.
With several launches expected in the next few months, the race for the top is only going to get more intense. Stay tuned for next month’s chart — we might just see a new winner emerge!
