BRAND-WISE TOTALS
Numbers are passenger vehicle (PV) OEM wholesale dispatches for October 2026 unless otherwise noted. This page currently shows only the manufacturers that have published their October figures; it is updated as the rest report, and the industry total is withheld until all of them are in. Model-wise dispatch tables for October have not published yet — they run 8 to 22 days after month end, and each brand's split is added to its card as it lands. Model figures circulating earlier than that are generally Vahan registrations rather than dispatches, a different basis, so they are not mixed in here. Mahindra's figure is domestic utility vehicles. Vahan registrations and FADA retail figures are compiled on a different basis and will not match. Three-wheeler and commercial vehicle sales are tracked separately and are not included here.
