Maruti Suzuki continued to head the standings in Jan 2026 amidst stellar performances from Tata Motors and Mahindra with Hyundai in fourth

The PV market opened the new year registering healthy year-on-year growth. The total dispatches across major manufacturers stood at 4,52,589 units compared to 4,01,538 units in January 2025 with a notable growth of 12.7 per cent. While Maruti Suzuki retained its leadership position, growth was largely powered by Tata Motors and Mahindra – both of which posted strong double-digit gains.

The market scenario shows buyers opting to go with SUVs and utility-oriented models that are playing a decisive role in pumping volumes for several OEMs. Maruti Suzuki reported sales of 1,74,529 units in January 2026 – marginally higher than the 1,73,599 units sold a year earlier as it endured its highest single-month cumulative sales and exports.

Though growth was limited to 0.5 per cent, the brand’s sheer scale ensured it remained the single largest contributor to overall industry volumes. As has been the case in recent times, Tata Motors emerged as one of the standout performers of the month. With sales surging to 70,222 units from 48,075 units last year, Tata recorded a massive 46.1 per cent growth.
