India's auto exports just broke records—here's what went down
India's auto exports shot up by 24% in 2025, totaling 63.25 lakh vehicles.
This growth came from strong demand for everything from cars to bikes and trucks, especially in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
The latest numbers were shared by SIAM in January 2026.
All types of vehicles saw big gains
Passenger vehicle exports climbed 16%, reaching 8.63 lakh units.
Two-wheelers led the charge with almost 50 lakh units shipped—a jump of over 24%.
Even commercial vehicles and three-wheelers had their moment, growing by more than a quarter and nearly 43%, respectively.
Maruti Suzuki leads the pack
Maruti Suzuki stayed on top, exporting nearly four lakh cars—up 21% from 2024—and making up almost half of all Indian car exports with its lineup now reaching over 100 countries.
Why this matters
Despite global challenges, India's auto industry proved it can keep moving forward.
These numbers show how resilient and competitive Indian manufacturing is right now—a good sign if you're watching trends or thinking about where things are headed next.
