India’s automobile retail sector recorded its highest-ever annual sales in FY26, with total registrations reaching 2,96,71,064 units, marking a 13.30 per cent year-on-year growth, according to data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) on Monday. The figures bring the domestic auto industry close to the 3-crore annual sales milestone, reflecting strong and broad-based demand across segments. FADA President C.S Vigneshwar said the growth was structurally driven by improving affordability, rising mobility demand across urban and rural markets, and a diversified powertrain mix. Among segments, two-wheelers led the recovery, surpassing their pre-COVID peak with sales of over 2.14 crore units, registering a 13.40 per cent growth. The rebound was supported by improved rural cash flows, better affordability and a wider product range.
