The above numbers do not have figures from TS.
Vehicle Retail Data has been collated as on 03.05.26 in collaboration with Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India and has been gathered from 1,463 out of 1,466 RTOs.
Others include OEMs accounting less than 0.1% Market Share.
This was revealed in the Vehicle Retail Data for April'26 released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). FADA Vice President Sai Giridhar said: “The Indian auto retail industry has opened FY 2026-27 on an exceptionally strong note, retailing 26,11,317 units in April'26 — a 12.94% YoY expansion that delivers the highest-ever April in our records. With Two-Wheelers at +13.01%, Three-Wheelers at +7.19%, Passenger Vehicles at +12.21%, Commercial Vehicles at +15.02%, Tractors at +23.22%, and Construction Equipment at -2.25%, five of the six vehicle categories — along with the total industry — registered all-time April records”.
“This clearly underlines that the structural demand momentum which defined the second half of FY'26 has carried into the new financial year. The sequential MoM softness of -3.01% reflects the customary post-March seasonal reset rather than any erosion in underlying demand,” he added.

Two-Wheeler retails for the month stood at 19,16,258 units, the best-ever April for this category. Importantly, the demand engine remained broad-based with Urban markets growing 14.07% YoY and Rural markets growing 12.30% YoY. Dealers attributed this performance to improved rural liquidity following a healthy rabi season, the extended marriage-season tailwind that runs through May and June, and continued affordability gains carried over from the GST 2.0 framework, FADA noted.
Selective model-wise supply constraints in certain commuter and premium variants slightly tempered the otherwise strong momentum. The EV share in 2Ws moderated to 7.76% in April from the elevated 9.79% reading in March — the latter having been amplified by pre-buying activity around the closing window of certain mass-segment EV incentives — yet remained well above the FY'26 average of 6.5%.
