Auto Sales in August: Vehicle sales in India slowed in August 2025 as consumers waited for the new GST pricing on cars and two-wheelers before buying. The Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations of India compiled the data, showing that retail automobile sales, measured by registrations on the government’s VAHAN website, rose 0.93% year-over-year to 3,23,256 units last month. Retail two-wheeler sales grew 2.18% to 13,73,675 units.

FADA President CS Vigneshwar said in a media statement on Monday, September 8, 2025: “The month started on a positive note with healthy inquiries and festive bookings, but sales slowed in the second half as the announcement of GST 2.0 reforms delayed decision-making. Heavy rains and floods disrupted walk-ins, while aggressive OEM targets and an uneven supply of high-demand models added pressure. Despite this brief lull, dealers expect a stronger recovery in September as GST clarity and auspicious holiday days unlock deferred demand.”
