Hyundai India solidified its position as the second-largest carmaker in March 2025, selling 67,320 units, a 2.6% year-on-year (YoY) increase from 65,601 units in March 2024. The Hyundai car sales March 2025 India data shows domestic sales at 51,820 units, down 2.23% YoY but up 8.58% month-on-month (MoM) from 47,727 units in February 2025, driven by strong SUV demand.
Key Sales Data
Sales Highlights
Exports surged 23.02% to 15,500 units from 12,600 units YoY, making Hyundai India’s top PV exporter. For FY25, total sales were 7,62,052 units, down 2.03% from 7,77,876 units in FY24, with domestic sales at 5,98,666 units (down 2.61%) and exports at 1,63,386 units (up 0.14%). SUVs, led by the Creta (52,898 units in Q4 FY25), contributed 68.5% of domestic sales.
Rival Comparison
Hyundai edged out Tata Motors by 204 units (51,820 vs. 51,616, up 3.01% YoY) to reclaim the No. 2 spot. Maruti Suzuki led with 1,92,984 units (up 3% YoY), Mahindra sold 83,894 units (48,048 SUVs, up 18% YoY), and Kia moved 25,525 units (up 19.3% YoY).
Market Insights
Hyundai’s 8.58% MoM domestic growth reflects pre-buying before a 4% price hike in April 2025. However, its EV push with the Creta Electric (launched in FY25) is yet to gain traction, with Tata Motors leading the EV market at 56% share. Hyundai’s 68.5% SUV contribution aligns with India’s UV demand (65% of PV sales), but it must innovate to close the gap with Maruti.
Final Thoughts
The Hyundai car sales March 2025 India data underscores its resilience, but the domestic YoY dip and EV lag raise questions. Can Hyundai leverage its SUV strength to challenge Maruti’s lead? The road ahead will be telling.
