- Passenger car sales have been growing significantly over the past few years. However, the market witnessed its worst fall of 21.07% in 2020 over 2019. Relaxation in the COVID-19 pandemic-induced restraints and the resuming of business operations revived the passenger cars market with a slight growth of 4.77% in 2021 over 2020. While the demand for fossil fuel vehicles is declining gradually, the share of electric passenger cars grew to 4.86% in 2021 from 3.33% in 2020. An increase in the electrification of vehicles and the banning of fossil fuel vehicles by 2035 is expected to boost the Indian passenger cars market in the future.

In August 2022, Korean automobile producer Hyundai unveiled its new SUV, Tucson. The vehicle is offered in 2.0-liter petrol and diesel engine variants with 156 PS for petrol and 186 for diesel. Such new launches are expected to attract customers, further enhancing the passenger cars market across India during the forecast period.
- The government's numerous incentives and rebate programs are increasing the demand for battery electric cars nationwide. The governments of several states have updated the policies and amount levels on battery electric car subsidies. Most states often provide road tax discounts of up to 75% and car price reimbursements of up to INR 10,000. These factors are expected to increase demand for electric passenger cars in India during the forecast period.
