TL;DR
Citroen, Tata Motors, and Skoda recorded the highest year-on-year sales growth in India's passenger vehicle market for January 2026.
India's passenger vehicle industry started 2026 with strong sales momentum, and a closer analysis of January figures reveals Citroen as the fastest-growing car brand in India. Citroen achieved a remarkable 125.1% year-on-year growth, largely attributed to a low base effect from January 2025 and strategic updates to its existing product lineup, including the introduction of 'X' range variants.
Following Citroen, Tata Motors secured the second spot with a robust 46.1% year-on-year growth, driven by the continued strong demand for models like the Nexon and Punch. Skoda came in third with a 38.9% growth rate, benefiting from an expanding dealer network and improving market acceptance, particularly for models like the Kylaq.
