India’s Automobile Exports Jump 22 Per Cent In April–June Quarter, Led By Record Passenger Vehicle Shipments News24 –

India’s automobile exports witnessed a robust 22% year-on-year (YoY) growth in the April-June quarter of the current financial year (Q1 FY26), according to data released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).

This growth was driven by record-breaking passenger vehicle shipments, alongside strong performances in the two-wheeler, commercial vehicle, and three-wheeler segments. In total, India exported 14,57,461 vehicles across all categories in the first quarter, compared to 11,92,566 units during the same period last year.

Passenger vehicle exports reached a record high of 2,04,330 units during the April-June quarter, marking a 13% increase from 1,80,483 units exported in the corresponding period last year.

SIAM attributed this export surge to steady demand in most international markets, particularly in the Middle East and Latin America. Additionally, recovering demand from neighbouring countries such as Sri Lanka and Nepal, along with rising interest from Japan, contributed to the growth. Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with countries like Australia also supported the increase in exports.

Maruti Suzuki emerged as the top exporter of passenger vehicles in Q1 FY26, shipping 96,181 cars- a 37% jump from 69,962 units in the same quarter last year. Hyundai Motor India followed with 48,140 cars exported, registering a 13% rise from 42,600 units in the year-ago quarter.

Two-wheeler exports grew by 23%, rising from 9,23,148 units last year to 11,36,942 units in the April-June period. Commercial vehicle exports also increased by 23%, with shipments climbing to 19,427 units. Three-wheelers registered the highest growth rate among all categories, with exports jumping 34% to 95,796 units in Q1 FY26.
