Autocar Professional’s May 1, 2025 Edition is out!

The latest edition of Autocar Professional examines the Indian automotive sector’s evolving landscape in the aftermath of the pandemic, with FY25 marking a turning point characterized by slowing growth, market divergence, and a marked shift toward premiumisation. 

Despite record passenger vehicle sales of 4.32 million units, overall growth decelerated to 2%, reflecting trends such as the decline in entry-level models and the rise of premium two-wheelers and compact SUVs.

Through in-depth data analysis and a comprehensive EV market review, this edition dissects category-wise performance—spanning two-wheelers, passenger cars, commercial vehicles, EVs, and tractors. The edition also reflects on the recalibrated strategies prompted by changing consumer aspirations and affordability pressures.

Looking ahead to FY26, the outlook is one of cautious optimism, driven by upcoming launches, a stabilizing rural economy, and export momentum, but tempered by financing hurdles, regulatory shifts, and global uncertainties. This issue captures the transition from volume-driven to value-led growth and offers critical insights into the forces shaping India’s automotive future.

In addition to market analysis, the edition also offers on-the-ground perspectives from industry leaders and experts, highlighting how OEMs, suppliers, and dealers are adapting to an increasingly fragmented and value-conscious market. 

Autocar Professional magazine is available through all good newsagents and for download from Magzster.
