BMW Group India announced its highest-ever first quarter sales, delivering 4,567 cars and achieving 17% year-on-year growth. The company reported consistent double-digit growth across segments despite broader market moderation.

BMW’s electric portfolio contributed significantly, with 1,185 BMW and MINI EVs sold, marking 83% growth and accounting for 26% of total sales. The company retained more than 70% market share in India’s luxury EV segment.

Long Wheelbase models accounted for over half of sales, rising 23% year-on-year to 2,256 units. Sports Activity Vehicles recorded 38% growth, reaching 2,966 units and representing 65% of sales.

MINI delivered 213 units in Q1, up 42%, supported by new launches including the MINI Convertible and MINI Countryman SE ALL4. BMW Motorrad sold 1,216 motorcycles, driven by demand for models such as the BMW G 310 RR and BMW S 1000 RR.

BMW Group India plans 27 new product launches in 2026, with four already introduced in Q1. The company also continues to expand its EV ecosystem, offering access to over 6,000 charging points nationwide and maintaining the widest luxury EV portfolio in India.

Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, said: “BMW Group India has entered 2026 in an extremely strong position. We have achieved our highest-ever Q1 sales, registering solid double-digit growth, despite macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds. Our lead in India's luxury electric mobility also continues thanks to the immense trust our valued customers have put in our electric offerings in terms of performance, EV ecosystem and technology.”
