Most car makers when they start their journeys in India, begin with opening their showrooms in the top cities of the country. Once they establish their presence in these top cities, only then do they move into Tier 2 cities. These decisions are taken solely based upon hard-facts and not on any board member’s gut feeling. Let’s have a look at these Top 20 cities of India (in terms of car sales).

Before we proceed further, we would like to highlight that the figures mentioned here are not of retail car sales. Instead, these are figures of the cars shipped from the OEM to their dealer partners. Some of the larger dealers of some organizations have multiple showrooms in the same state.

In some of the cases, all cars shipped to a dealer partner get tagged to their primary outlet, which is mostly based out of a metro. Hence, in some cases, the sales numbers might also include the number of cars which were meant to be shipped to smaller towns but got tagged to the larger cities due to the above mentioned reason. Also, the data referred for the classification is of FY 2021, i.e. Apr’20-Mar’21.

Capital Region, also the Capital of Car Sales

The National Capital Region, excluding Delhi, had the maximum number of car sales in the last financial year. Overall, the region which comprises of Delhi’s satellite cities of Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad etc. recorded a total sales of 1,36,869 units in the last 12 months.
