Automotive Market In India - Strategic Market Overview

Market Overview

The Automotive Market in India represents one of the most dynamic and fast-evolving vehicle ecosystems globally, supported by a large population base, rising disposable incomes, rapid urbanization, and strong government backing. In 2023, the market accounted for 3.99 million units, reflecting India's growing demand for personal mobility, logistics, and public transportation solutions. Vehicles manufactured and sold in India span across two-wheelers, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and three-wheelers, catering to diverse consumer and industrial requirements.

India's automotive ecosystem benefits from a strong domestic manufacturing base, cost-efficient labor, and an expanding supplier network for auto-components. Policy initiatives such as Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles), and the Automotive Mission Plan (2016-2026) are accelerating investments in vehicle production, electrification, and advanced automotive technologies. The market is increasingly transitioning toward fuel-efficient, connected, and electric vehicles to address environmental concerns and evolving consumer expectations.

Market Performance & Forecasts

The Indian Automotive Market is projected to grow from 3.99 million units in 2023 to 6.38 million units by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.94% during 2024-2030. This growth is underpinned by strong two-wheeler demand, rising passenger vehicle ownership, increasing commercial vehicle usage driven by infrastructure and logistics expansion, and accelerating electric vehicle (EV) adoption.

Two-wheelers continue to dominate overall vehicle volumes due to affordability and suitability for Indian road conditions, while passenger vehicles-particularly SUVs and compact cars-are gaining traction in urban and semi-urban regions. Commercial vehicles are experiencing steady growth, supported by industrial expansion, e-commerce logistics, and government infrastructure spending.
