Hyundai India wrapped up FY25 on a high note, selling 67,320 units in March 2025, a 2.6% year-on-year (YoY) increase from 65,601 units in March 2024. The Hyundai car sales March 2025 India data reveals a domestic sales dip of 2.23% to 51,820 units from 53,001 units YoY, but an 8.58% month-on-month (MoM) rise from 47,727 units in February 2025, securing its No. 2 rank.
Key Sales Data
Performance Snapshot
Exports soared 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), made up 68.5% of domestic sales.
Competitive Edge
Hyundai narrowly beat 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). Hyundai’s UV sales trailed Mahindra but outperformed Kia in total volume.
Market Dynamics
The 8.58% MoM domestic growth likely reflects pre-buying before a 4% price hike in April 2025. However, Hyundai’s EV efforts, including the Creta Electric, lag behind Tata’s 56% EV market share in India’s 1.96 million-unit EV market (FY25). With SUVs driving 65% of PV sales, Hyundai’s 68.5% UV contribution is a strength, but it must innovate to challenge Maruti.
Final Thoughts
The Hyundai car sales March 2025 India data highlights its export prowess and SUV appeal, but the domestic YoY decline signals challenges. Can Hyundai accelerate its EV game to close the gap with Maruti? Stay tuned for FY26 updates.
