New Delhi: Honda Cars India Ltd. (HCIL), one of the country’s leading premium car manufacturers, has reported a total of 8,096 units sold in September 2025, as the festive and GST winds combined to give the brand’s sales charts a healthy tailwind.
The company clocked 5,303 units in domestic sales and 2,793 units in exports, registering a solid comeback compared to 5,675 domestic units and 5,239 export units during the same month last year. While exports may have eased a bit, domestic sales clearly hit the accelerator this festive season.
🏠 Navratras + GST 2.0 = Perfect Sales Formula
Commenting on the performance, Kunal Behl, Vice President, Marketing & Sales, Honda Cars India Ltd. said,
“In September, we witnessed a strong pick-up in both wholesales and deliveries from Navratras onwards, as customers aligned their purchases following the GST related announcements. The GST 2.0 has come as a boon for the customers and the auto industry as cars are now much more affordable with reduced prices and additional ongoing offers. We expect this strong momentum to carry forward into October with heightened customer sentiment during Dhanteras & Diwali.”
In short, GST 2.0 didn’t just lower taxes—it seems to have lowered buyer hesitation too. The result: showrooms saw more footfalls than a Garba night.
With Dhanteras and Diwali around the corner, Honda seems ready to keep its engines revving. Festive sentiment is expected to keep the domestic momentum strong, while exports could pick up pace as global shipping schedules smooth out post-monsoon.
If September was the warm-up lap, October promises to be a full-throttle festive sprint.
