# India: automotive sales decline, electric vehicles rise in October 2026 > The report covers the Indian automotive market, where October 2026 is marked by a decline in overall sales (-14.2%, and -24% for retail sales) while electric vehicles surge strongly (+45%, with an almost doubling of electric car sales according to sub‑events). The Diwali festive season supports demand, but analysts believe November will be the real test, with one in three buyers still undecided. Manufacturers' performances are mixed: Honda and Ashok Leyland show increases, Tata Motors reaches a sales milestone, Hyundai records record volumes with declining per‑vehicle profitability, and BMW leads the luxury electric segment ahead of Tesla's growth.
