JSW MG Motor India on Wednesday reported a 30 per cent year-on-year rise in wholesale sales at 7,568 units in June, its best-ever monthly sales. Electric vehicles continued to drive the growth, contributing over 75 per cent of the company's total sales in June 2026, JSW MG Motor India said in a statement. Rising fuel prices, lower EV running costs, and geopolitical uncertainties in West Asia further accelerated customer preference for electric mobility, it added. Commenting on the June sales performance, JSW MG Motor India Chief Commercial Officer, Vinay Raina, said it reflected steady demand across the portfolio and "marks our highest-ever wholesale performance, with electric vehicles continuing to account for a significant share of our overall sales". At the same time, he said, "We are seeing encouraging customer response to our ICE offerings, reinforcing the strength of our diverse product portfolio."

India's auto retail sales reach record high in May, EV share tops 11%

India's automobile retail sales grew 9.55 per cent to a record 25,31,067 units in May, while EV penetration crossed 11 per cent for the first time, as dealers saw a surge in enquiries for fuel-efficient and green vehicles after last month's fuel price hikes amid the West Asia crisis, FADA said on Monday. The cumulative automobile retail sales in India stood at 23,10,451 units in the same month last year. According to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), the figures reflect the best May performance ever recorded across commercial (CV), passenger vehicle (PV) and the overall EV penetration. "A notable feature of the month was the consumer response to May fuel-price revisions: dealers reported a visible rise in enquiries for fuel-efficient and alternative-powertrain options, reflected in the two-wheeler EV share climbing to 9.25 per cent from 6.11 per cent a year ago," FADA stated. Passenger vehicles retail sales were at a record 4,02,591 units last month as compa

Auto retail sales rise nearly 18% in January on high rural demand: Fada

Automobile retail sales rose nearly 18 per cent year-on-year to over 27 lakh units in January, led by continued post-GST momentum, healthy rural cash flows on the back of harvest and weddings, and sustained demand visibility across freight, dealer's body FADA said on Tuesday. Overall retail sales last month grew to 27,22,558 units, up 17.61 per cent, as against 23,14,940 units in January 2025. Passenger vehicle retails stood at 5,13,475 units last month, a growth of 7 per cent, as against 4,78,915 units in the year-ago period. "The growth story is increasingly being written in non-metro India -- Rural PV grew by 14.43 per cent YoY, significantly ahead of Urban at 2.75 per cent YoY. "This reinforces the structural expansion of PV demand beyond the top cities, aided by a strong SUV/compact-SUV preference, revival of entry-level cars, product availability and continued schemes," FADA President C S Vigneshwar said in a statement. Two-wheeler retail sales grew 21 per cent year-on-year
