June 2026 turned out to be a strong month for India's car market, with the country's top-10 carmakers together posting a robust 23.06% year-on-year jump in sales. The top 6 OEMs sold a combined 3,62,284 units last month, compared to 2,94,397 units in June 2025, a clear sign of renewed momentum in the industry.
Maruti Suzuki Stays on Top, But Tata Motors Steals the Growth Show
Maruti Suzuki continued to hold its commanding lead in the market, even as Tata Motors emerged as the fastest-growing carmaker among the top six, logging the highest year-on-year growth of 67.40%. Mahindra and Kia also turned in strong numbers. On a month-on-month basis, however, the overall market slipped 12.37%, down from 4,13,445 units in May 2026 to 3,62,284 units in June. Here is how each company fared individually.
Maruti Suzuki: Over 40% Market Share Despite a Monthly Dip
Maruti Suzuki sold 1,47,187 units in June 2026, cornering a dominant 40.63% share of the overall market, far ahead of every other carmaker. Sales rose 23.78% year-on-year, though they fell 22.67% compared to May 2026. Even with that monthly dip, Maruti remains the largest player in the Indian car market by a wide margin. The company continues to lean on new model launches and expansion plans to hold its ground, even as month-on-month numbers keep fluctuating.
Tata Motors: EVs and SUVs Power the Fastest Growth
Tata Motors delivered the most impressive performance among the top six carmakers. The company sold 62,076 units in June 2026, marking a massive 67.40% year-on-year growth, along with a 5.05% rise on a month-on-month basis. A strong presence in the electric vehicle segment and popular SUV models helped push Tata Motors into second place overall. The company now holds a 17.13% market share and is growing rapidly, with expectations of an even stronger showing in the months ahead.
Mahindra: Thar and XUV Series Secure Third Place
Mahindra sold 60,393 units in June 2026, recording a 27.66% year-on-year increase along with a 4.09% month-on-month rise. The company captured a 16.67% market share. The popularity of the Thar and XUV series in particular kept Mahindra in a strong position, and its SUV-focused strategy helped it hold on to a spot among the top three carmakers.
Hyundai: Fourth Place, But Sales Keep Sliding
Hyundai sold 39,635 units in June 2026 to finish fourth, but the month was far from smooth for the company. Sales fell 9.97% year-on-year and dropped a further 17.15% month-on-month. With a 10.94% market share, Hyundai is clearly facing headwinds, and the company is now working on new models and pricing strategies to turn its fortunes around.
Toyota and Kia: Steady Performers in the Top Six
Toyota sold 28,441 units in June 2026, up 7.52% year-on-year, while sales fell 6.98% month-on-month. The company held a 7.85% market share, with a strong hold on the hybrid and premium segments keeping its growth steady.
Kia, meanwhile, sold 24,552 units in June 2026, registering a 19.04% year-on-year increase even as sales dipped 11% month-on-month. The company captured a 6.78% market share. Kia continues to perform well in the SUV segment, with the Seltos and Sonet remaining its biggest strengths.
