India’s passenger-vehicle market witnessed record-breaking Dhanteras sales with over 100,000 cars delivered within 24 hours, generating ₹8,500–10,000 crore in revenue. The surge was led by Maruti Suzuki (51,000 units), Hyundai (14,000 units), and Tata Motors (25,000 units). Experts credit GST 2.0 benefits, revived small-car demand, and strong consumer sentiment for creating the biggest single-day sales milestone in India’s auto history, marking the strongest Navratri–Diwali season on record.
