Cars in India
Automotive Industry in India:

Major Players: Several international and domestic automakers operate in India, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Honda, Toyota, and others.
Market Trends: India has witnessed a growing demand for SUVs and compact cars. Electric and hybrid vehicles have gained attention due to increasing environmental concerns, and various manufacturers are exploring this segment.
Government Initiatives: The Indian government has introduced policies to promote electric and green mobility. Incentives, subsidies, and initiatives like the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme have been implemented to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles.


The automotive industry in India faces challenges such as congestion, pollution, and the need for sustainable transportation solutions. Economic factors and fluctuations in fuel prices can impact consumer buying patterns.

The results from an extensive, multi-phase survey conducted by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare reveal a significant disparity. The data indicates that less than 8% of households own a car. On average, 1 in 12 Indian households, or approximately 7.5%, possesses a car in India. About 55% of Indians have a 2 wheeler as per statistics available till 2022. Now you know why you see a lot of bikes and scooters cramming our cities in India.

The car population in India is rising. According to the Government of India data website, India has approximately 8,625,000 cars as of 2022. . You will find complete details such as - features, technical specifications, safety features and price here for all the cars available in India. We have no bias against any manufacturer or car when we compiled these pages. Buying a car is a major investment. That is the reason we went to great lengths to prepare these information laden pages.


Indian Compact Cars

Not long ago, Maruti 800 was the only entry level car on the Indian roads. Now you have quite a handful of cars competing in this price conscious category of cars. Tata Nano - the World's cheapest car leads this segment. The small car segment attracts less duty, is far more frugal when it comes to maintenance and fuel economy and can be the ideal city car - managing to negotiate the narrow lanes of Indian cities. The entry level Car in Maruti stable is the Alto. With Tata Tiago and Renault Kwid offering a lot more features at less than Rs.450,000 or around that, the entry level cars have reached a stage where consumers can expect a lot more features, more value for money and better design than they have been used to till now. Tata Tiago offers features - ABS,EBD, airbags, Engine immobilizer, Engine Eco/City mode selection and Harman Infotainment for a little over Rs.500,000/.


Tata offers new cars with solid build construction and great ergonomics at competitive prices than its competitors. Tiago - Tata's new small car comes with 9th generation Bosch Safety features - ABS,EBD and CSC. The Corner Stability Control (CSC) provides additional stability in curves by reducing pressure at the required inner wheel. This helps to reduce the probability of vehicle oversteer during cornering. It was formerly called as Zica and the name is a Portmanteau word derived from the words 'Zippy' and 'Car'. After the notoriety associated with the word 'Zica' with a virus, Tata changed the name to Tiago. Tata's earlier and probably one of its highest selling cars car - Indica whose name is also a portmanteau word derived from the words 'India' and 'Car'.


Entry Level Cars

We constantly update our India cars database and you have more cars entering in this entry level. It appears that more car manufacturers are waking up to the fact that many Indians are cost conscious and even for the affluent - a second smaller car is always useful as a city run-about. Tata Motors, always known for their 'Value for Money' approach, have brought in Tata Zest and Tata Bolt with features hard to beat. They bring cars with advanced safety features once found only in German cars.


We have compiled this list in a basic way - we took only the cars selling for less than Rs.5 lakhs (or for our international visitors Rs.500,000/-). If you have other factors in mind, we suggest that you use the select boxes on the top to wind up a new list. After all, we present in these pages - a complete collection of all cars on the Indian Roads.
