If the name of a company is first taken in the Indian automobile market, then it is Maruti Suzuki. This company, which sells the most vehicles every month, has dominated the dominance for years. But a shocking trend has been seen in the first half of the year 2025 i.e. H1 (January to June). While Maruti faced a decline in sales, a company like Skoda registered a bang growth and left behind.

In H1 2025, Skoda sold 36,194 units with a tremendous 134% early growth. A year ago, in H1 2024, Skoda sold only 15,462 vehicles. The credit for this edge is being given to a large extent to Skoda's new car “Kailak”, which attracted people a lot.
Maruti Suzuki dominates, but with a decline

A slight increase in total sales
