Auto sales in India surged to an all-time high to approach the three-crore milestone as the government’s move to rationalise goods and services tax created demand for vehicles of all shapes and sizes.
As many as 2,96,71,064 vehicles were registered on the VAHAN portal in the fiscal ended March 2026 — that’s 13.30% higher on year-on-year basis, according to data collated and released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) on Monday (6 April 2026).
