Growth wasn't just about cars: two-wheelers, tractors, and commercial vehicles all saw solid jumps too.
India rural passenger sales up 35.09%
Rural areas drove much of the excitement, with passenger vehicle sales there growing even faster than in cities (35.09% vs. 24.67%).
Alternative fuel vehicles like CNG, hybrids, and EVs also hit record highs, up over 40%.
Even with worries about monsoon rains and price hikes, 66.17% of dealers say they are feeling positive about the months ahead thanks to steady demand and India's economic bounce-back.
