Automobile Sector’s October Boom: Toyota Sales Jump 39%, Kia India Surges 30%

Toyota sales up 39%, Kia India up 30% in October 2025 amid festive demand and GST boost

The Indian automobile sector witnessed a remarkable upswing in October 2025, driven by strong festive demand, new product launches, and favorable economic conditions. Leading the surge were Toyota Kirloskar Motor and Kia India, both reporting record-breaking sales figures for the month.

Toyota’s Record-Breaking Month

Toyota India reported sales of 42,892 units in October 2025 — marking a 39% year-on-year growth compared to the same month last year.

Out of this, around 40,257 units were sold domestically, while 2,635 units were exported.

Company officials attributed this surge to the festive season demand, enhanced customer confidence due to GST 2.0 reforms, and the popularity of their new limited editions like the Urban Cruiser Hyryder Aero Edition and Fortuner Leader Edition.

Kia India Achieves Best-Ever Monthly Sales

Kia India recorded its best-ever monthly performance, selling 29,556 units in October 2025 — a 30% year-on-year jump from October 2024.

The compact SUV Sonet led the sales chart with 12,745 units, followed by Carens Clavis (and Clavis EV) at 8,779 units and the Seltos with 7,130 units.

Kia’s leadership said the growth was driven by the festive buying sentiment, introduction of new variants, and rising acceptance of their electric lineup, especially the Carens Clavis EV.

Industry-Wide Festive Momentum

Other automakers like Hyundai, Mahindra, Maruti, and Tata Motors also reported strong growth, confirming that October was one of the most successful months for the Indian auto market in recent years.

Analysts believe this boom reflects renewed consumer confidence, better supply chain stability, and increasing interest in EVs among Indian buyers.

As the festive season continues, automakers are optimistic about maintaining the momentum into November and December. Industry experts expect the combined effects of tax reforms, EV adoption, and model refreshes to keep the sector’s growth trajectory strong into 2026.
