India's Automotive Industry in 2026: OEMs, Dealers, Aftermarket, and EV Data

India became the world's third-largest passenger-vehicle market in 2023 and has held that spot since — 4.3 million PVs, over 18 million two-wheelers, and roughly 1 million commercial vehicles sold in FY2025. The sector contributes about 7% of GDP and directly employs over 37 million people across manufacturing, dealership networks, aftermarket, and logistics.

For B2B teams selling into automotive — parts distributors, DMS / CRM SaaS, EV charging providers, tyre and lubricants brands, insurance embedded partners, fleet finance and telematics — the addressable universe is fragmented across OEM dealer networks, standalone workshops, RTA / RTO listings, and aftermarket wholesalers. Our India automotive directory pulls it into one CSV with verified dealer, service, and aftermarket records.
