Auto Sales Data October 2025.
Auto Sales October 2025: India’s automobile industry accelerated strongly in October 2025, fuelled by festive-season demand and the recent GST rate rationalisation, pushing several manufacturers to record-breaking monthly performances across segments. From SUVs to two-wheelers and tractors, most major automakers have so far reported double-digit growth, buoyed by strong deliveries around Navratri and Diwali and a revival in rural sentiment on the back of a favourable monsoon.
Mahindra & Mahindra: Record SUV Month
Mahindra & Mahindra posted an overall sales jump of 26% to 1,20,142 units in October. Passenger vehicle sales rose 31% year-on-year to 71,624 units, marking the company’s highest-ever monthly SUV sales.
“In October, we achieved SUV sales of 71,624 units, a growth of 31 per cent, which is the highest SUV sales we have clocked ever in a month,” said Nalinikanth Gollagunta, CEO – Automotive Division.
In farm equipment, tractor sales rose 13% to 73,660 units, supported by improved monsoon trends and GST rate cuts. M&M’s farm equipment head Veejay Nakra said timely Rabi sowing and good Kharif harvest progress bode well for demand.
Toyota Kirloskar: Festive Editions Boost Demand
Toyota Kirloskar Motor reported a 39% surge in total sales to 42,892 units, backed by festive-edition launches of the Hyryder and Fortuner.
“The favourable economic environment during the festive season, reinforced by the government’s forward-looking GST reforms, has boosted market confidence,” said Varinder Wadhwa, Vice-President, Sales & Service.
Exports stood at 2,635 units.
Kia India: Best Month Ever
Kia recorded its highest-ever monthly sales in India, jumping 30% to 29,556 units. The Sonet led volumes with 12,745 units, while the Carens Clavis and its EV version contributed 8,779 units. Seltos continued strong at 7,130 units.
“October 2025 marks a historic milestone in Kia India’s journey,” said Atul Sood, SVP & National Head, Sales & Marketing, adding that EV sales momentum reinforced the company’s “future-ready mobility” focus.
Tata Motors: EV Push Gains Pace
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles’ sales rose 26.6% to 61,295 units, with SUVs accounting for over 47,000 units, the highest-ever 77% share of monthly sales. EV sales surged 73.4% to 9,286 units. The company delivered over 1 lakh vehicles between Navratri and Diwali, up 33% year-on-year.
With this, the homegrown auto giant retained its position as the country’s second-largest passenger vehicle (PV) manufacturer in October 2025.
Skoda Auto India: Highest-Ever Monthly Sales
Skoda clocked 8,252 units in October, its biggest monthly tally ever, driven by the Kylaq compact SUV and sustained demand for the Kodiaq, Kushaq and Slavia.
With 61,607 units sold in January-October, the company has already surpassed its best-ever annual sales record from 2022.
“This milestone… is a testament to the strength of purpose and agility of execution,” Skoda India Brand Director Ashish Gupta said.
Maruti Suzuki Leads With Retail Sales
Maruti Suzuki India continues to lead with retail sales of 2,38,534 units in October 2025. In September 2025, Maruti Suzuki had retailed 1,23,242 units.
TVS Motor: Two-Wheelers and Exports Shine
TVS Motor reported an 11% rise in total sales to 5,43,557 units. Two-wheeler sales grew 10% to 5,25,150 units, led by a 16% jump in motorcycles and 7% growth in scooters.
EV sales were up 11% at 32,387 units, while exports rose 21% to 1,15,806 units. Three-wheeler sales surged 70% to 18,407 units. The company noted strong demand but flagged “magnet availability” as a near-term challenge.
Escorts Kubota: Positive Farm Sentiment
Escorts Kubota’s tractor sales rose 3.8% to 18,798 units. Domestic sales grew 3.3% to 18,423 units, while exports jumped 38.4% to 375 units.
The company cited strong rural sentiment driven by good reservoir levels, government support and the timing of the festive season. While rains in some states impacted crops, demand for the Rabi season remains stable, it said.

Gold surges in global and Pakistani markets; silver also rises – SUCH TV
Prices of gold and silver witnessed a significant increase in both the global market and Pakistan’s local bullion market, reflecting continued volatility in precious metals.
According to market data, the price of one tola of gold surged by Rs15,200, reaching Rs479,262, while the rate for 10 grams of gold increased by Rs13,031 to settle at Rs410,889.
In the international market, gold prices also recorded a substantial rise, climbing by $152 to reach $4,565 per ounce, indicating strong global demand and investor interest in safe-haven assets.
Meanwhile, silver prices followed a similar upward trend, with one tola increasing by Rs370 to reach Rs7,824 in the local market.
Market analysts attribute the rise in prices to ongoing global economic uncertainties and increased demand for precious metals as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations.

PSX holds positive trend as global equities rise, oil prices drop – SUCH TV
Buying continued at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), with the benchmark KSE-100 Index gaining over 1,700 points during the opening minutes of trading on Wednesday. At 10 am, the benchmark index was at 155,730.37, up 1,764.37 points (1.13%).
Buying interest was observed in key sectors, including automobile assemblers, cement, commercial banks, fertiliser, oil and gas exploration companies, OMCs, power generation, and refinery. Index-heavy stocks, including ARL, HUBCO, PSO, MARI, OGDC, POL, PPL, HBL, MCB, and MEBL traded in the green.
On Tuesday, PSX ended with moderate gains as thin volumes and profit-taking capped the upward momentum despite supportive global cues and easing geopolitical concerns.
The KSE-100 Index closed at 153,966.36 points, gaining 1,225.99 points or 0.80%.
K-Electric led trading volumes with over 35 million shares exchanged, coinciding with the company’s announcement of a new chief executive earlier in the day.
Market heavyweights, including Engro Holdings, Fauji Fertiliser Company, Lucky Cement, Systems Limited, and Hub Power Company, contributed significantly to the index gains, while banking and select industrial stocks weighed on overall performance.
Despite the rebound, analysts noted that the market remained cautious after last week’s decline, which was driven by geopolitical uncertainty, particularly tensions in the Middle East, and concerns over global energy prices.
Experts suggest that future market direction will depend on regional stability, energy policy developments, and progress in ongoing discussions with the International Monetary Fund.
Globally, stocks rose, and oil fell on Wednesday on reports the US is seeking a month-long ceasefire in its war on Iran, and had sent a 15-point plan to Iran for discussion, raising hopes for a resumption of oil exports out of the Persian Gulf.
S&P 500 futures rose 0.9% in the Asian morning, European futures lifted 1.2%, and Brent crude futures fell about 6% to $98.30 a barrel.
