India Auto Retail Sales Grows 6.6% In January Says FADA
- by MT Bureau
- February 10, 2025

The automotive retail sales in January 2025 grew by 6.63 percent YoY, a growth much better than previously anticipated by most industry observers. A total of 22,91,621 vehicles were sold across segments, which includes 15,21,862 two-wheelers (+4.15 percent YoY), 1,07,033 three-wheelers (+6.86 percent YoY), 4,65,920 passenger vehicles (+15.53 percent YoY), 93,381 tractors (+5.23% YoY) and 99,425 commercial vehicles (+8.22% YoY) according to the latest data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA).
“The auto retail sector kicked off 2025 on a promising note, aligning with FADA’s earlier survey projections that expected January to range from flat to moderately positive. Indeed, overall retail sales posted a robust 6.6 percent YoY growth, reinforcing the industry’s optimistic start. Our observations indicate that each vehicle category – two-wheeler, three-wheeler, passenger vehicle, tractor and commercial vehicle – witnessed positive momentum, pointing toward sustained consumer confidence and steady market recovery,” said C S Vigneshwar, President, FADA.
In the two-wheeler segment, urban sales outpaced rural sales on the back of new model launches, marriage season demand and improved financing as key growth drivers. However, concerns about rising interest rates, rural liquidity challenges and market uncertainty still linger.
The passenger vehicle segment saw some spike on the back of ‘2025 model year’ sales, as the previous year models do see significant discounting.
“Commercial Vehicle sales increased by 8.22 percent YoY and surged 38.04 percent MoM, with urban markets climbing from 50.1 percent to 51.2 percent share and outpacing rural growth (9.51 percent vs 6.89 percent). While higher freight rates and passenger carrier demand provided a boost, many dealers cited low cash flow, strict financing policies and sluggish industries (like cement and coal) as major hurdles. Sentiments in rural regions remained notably subdued, compounded by limited new products. Overall, the sector shows cautious optimism but faces persistent headwinds,” added Vigneshwar.
Going forward, FADA maintains a cautious optimism for February, with dealers having a mixed sentiment ranging from an uptick, flat to even a drop in sales.
The tailwinds include continuing marriage season, fresh product launches and strategic promotional activities to sustain customer footfalls. This will be aided by improved inventory management, better financing options from select lenders and backlogged orders in certain segments (such as commercial vehicles) add to the sense of guarded confidence. With supportive policies and a post-budget lift in consumer sentiment, many believe February could see a stable or slightly elevated sales curve.
On the other hand, the headwinds expected include shorter working days, pockets of weak rural liquidity and inflationary pressures. Then there is the strict lending criteria, costlier vehicles and subdued demand in certain industrial sectors to further weigh on overall performance.

Sarla Aviation’s Shunya Air-Taxi Prototype Promises A Flying Future
- by Bhushan Mhapralkar
- February 08, 2025

Arranged in one corner of Hall 6 of Pragati Maidan in the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 was an air-taxi called Shunya. Developed by Sarla Aviation, a Bengaluru-based startup, the air-taxi attracted a good deal of crowd, reflecting a new and future mode of transport or mobility.
The Shunya air-taxi prototype could facilitate a new mode of mobility much like a radio-taxi does to travel between Mumbai and Pune; between Mumbai and Kalyan; between Delhi and Jaipur or between Delhi and Meerut, for example.
Intending to launch the electric air-taxi in Bengaluru by 2028 to become the first to introduce urban air transport in India, Sarla Aviation (the company’s name is inspired by Sarla Thakral, India’s first female pilot) is steadfastly focusing on an indigenous design and manufacture since the beginning of the operations.
A testament to Sarla Aviation’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, the Shunya air-taxi proto has been designed to execute short trips of 20 to 30 kms with speeds of up to 250 kmph with up to six passengers onboard. As the first eVTOL of its kind in the country, it marks a pivotal moment in the history of Indian civil aviation, showcasing the nation’s growing prowess in cutting-edge aerospace technologies.
Capable of carrying a maximum load of 680 kg, according to a source aware of the development, the air-taxi offers a market-leading payload capacity such that every passenger can bring his or her luggage. The luggage is conveniently stored in the rear of Shunya with exterior access for ease.
Prioritising safety, purpose-driven performance and accessibility, Shunya – poised to redefine mass transportation – can take off from any flat surface, whether on top of a building or in a rural area, making it the most infrastructure-efficient mode of mass mobility ever, according to the company.
Working on a strategy that will see Shunya facilitate efficient commuting in megacities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi and Pune, Sarla Aviation is also looking at how its offering could facilitate social commitments in the form of an air ambulance that reaches where no vehicle or other means of mobility is able to reach. An air ambulance could also be used in urban and semi-urban areas to beat the road congestion.

ICEMA Holds 3rd Construction Equipment Manufacturing And Supply Chain Summit
- by MT Bureau
- February 07, 2025
Under the auspices of the first edition of Bharat Construction Equipment Expo (BCEE) in Greater Noida on 21 January 2025, the Indian Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association (ICEMA), an affiliated organisation of CII, partnered with the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) to organise the 3rd Construction Equipment Manufacturing and Supply Chain Summit. As India works to realise its goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047, the event offered a forum for ideas and debates on how to enable CE manufacturing to propel national prosperity and advancement.
In order to improve the manufacturing capabilities of the CE industry and facilitate its transformation into a global manufacturing powerhouse, the Summit, which was well-attended by representatives of various stakeholders such as government bodies, OEMs, component manufacturers, suppliers, research institutions and end users of construction equipment, featured discussions on important topics, namely ‘Driving Innovation & Indigenisation: Making Indian CE Industry Atmanirbhar & a Global Manufacturing Powerhouse’ and ‘Building Resilience & Competitiveness with the support of a Robust Supply Chain’.
Panellists from OEMs, component manufacturers, and technology solution providers to the CE industry discussed their personal experiences and expectations regarding localisation, technology adoption, innovation and building a resilient CE supply chain during the event's panel discussions. One of the main issues that emerged regarding the bolstering supply chains was the inconsistent quality of components made by small manufacturers.
As part of the BCEE, the ICEMA Manufacturing and Supply Chain Panel established a localisation zone to showcase CE components that the industry has recognised as being indigenised. This feature gave CE suppliers and manufacturers a chance to assess the potential for working with market leaders to produce essential components domestically, therefore bolstering the supply chain for the CE industry.
The esteemed attendees of the Summit's Inaugural Session unveiled the second edition of the Construction Equipment industry catalogue. In order to promote networking and cooperation amongst industry participants, the catalogue compiles data on the goods, services and technologies provided by all types of stakeholders, including OEMs, component manufacturers, suppliers, technology solution providers and financiers.
