The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest is more than a competition – it’s an invitation for children around the world to envision a brighter, more connected future through mobility. We are incredibly proud of Sahasra’s achievement on the global stage, and her success demonstrates the potential of India’s youth to make meaningful contributions to the future of transportation and innovation. By engaging children at a young age, we hope to inspire future generations to think about how they can contribute to a better society.”
Sahasra said, “I am incredibly honoured and excited to be recognised as one of the global finalists in the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest. Participating in this contest has been a truly rewarding experience, allowing me to let my imagination reach a new depth and envision how cars of the future could change the world. My dream car, Toyota's Memory Car, was inspired by the idea of technology not just as a tool for mobility but as something that can help preserve memories and connect people in meaningful ways. I am deeply grateful to Toyota for providing young people like me with such an amazing platform to express our creativity and I hope it encourages other children to believe in their ideas and follow their dreams.”

However, sales for Eeco declined by 5.2 percent, while the mini segment (Alto, S-Presso) saw a sharp 45 percent drop, falling to 6,332 units from 11,519 units. The compact segment, which includes high-volume models like the Baleno and Swift, grew by 8.1 percent, reaching 61,591 units.
Sales to Toyota Kirloskar Motor rose sharply by 79.2 percent, from 5,481 units to 9,827 units, indicating a growing demand for cross-badged products.
The standout performer was the export segment, which surged 26 percent to 27,911 units from 22,160 units in April 2024. This strong export growth helped bolster the company’s overall numbers despite weaknesses in domestic sub-segments.
