India January 2026: Tata and Hyundai smash volume records in market up 12.7% - Carr.pk

The Tata Nexon is the best-selling vehicle in India for the third time in the past 4 months.

Outstanding month for wholesales in India at 452,589 units, up 12.7% year-on-year on a January 2025 result that was at the time an all-time high volume and the first time above 400,000 units. This month is the 2nd best month in history below the 466,814 of last October. Maruti Suzuki (+0.5%) is stable at 38.6% share vs. 44.2% in December. It is followed by Tata (+46.1%) reaching a record volume at 70,222 (previous best 61,134 last October). Mahindra (+25.4%) is relegated to third place above Hyundai (+9.5%) also breaking its volume record at 59,107 (previous best 57,115 in January 2024). Skoda (+38.9%), Renault (+33.6%) and Toyota (+17%) also beat the market in the remainder of the Top 10.

Over in the models charts, the Tata Nexon (+51.8%) takes a clear lead and breaks its monthly volume record at 23,365 (previous best: 22,573 last September). This is the third time in the past four months that the Nexon is #1 in India. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire (+27.6%) also has a fantastic month but has to contend with 2nd place. At #3, the Tata Punch also beat its monthly all-time high art 19,257 (previous best: 19,158 in April 2024). Leader a year ago, the Hyundai Creta (-3.2%) falls to #4 but is up 7 spots on December. The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga (+25.6%) is up to #5 ahead of the Maruti Suzuki Swift (+4.2%), Vitara Brezza (+18.6%) and Baleno (-15.9%) down 7 spots on last month’s win. The new Maruti Suzuki Victoris is up 13 ranks on last month to break into the Top 10 for the first time at #10. Another very successful launch is the Mahindra XUV7X0 above 10,000 units for its first full month in market.
