India’s car market is off to a roaring start this festive season, thanks to Navratri kicking off with record-breaking sales. On the first day, Tata Motors delivered 10,000 vehicles and fielded more than 25,000 customer inquiries—a huge win for the company and a sign of sky-high demand from excited buyers.
This surge comes right after recent GST 2.0 rate cuts that slashed taxes on automobiles, making new cars cheaper and lifting consumer confidence across the board. Tata Motors called it a “historic achievement,” highlighting how these changes, combined with festive buzz, have supercharged the Indian automobile sector.
It’s not just new rides getting attention. The pre-owned car market is buzzing too. Leading platform CARS24 reported a whopping 400% jump in car deliveries by 2 p.m. on Navratri’s opening day, compared to typical daily figures. They also handled over 5,000 vehicle inspections—the most in four years.
CARS24 credits the GST 2.0 reforms for the boom. Even though the cuts target new vehicles mainly, they’ve made owning any car more affordable, speeding up decisions for buyers and sellers in the used car segment. “Navratri 2025 opened on a record-breaking note for India’s pre-owned car market,” the company said, noting how families are snapping up cars for celebrations while others cash in by selling theirs.
Experts point out that Navratri has always been a peak time for car purchases in India, but this year’s GST tweaks have cranked up the excitement even more. Keep an eye out—Mahindra & Mahindra plans to share its sales figures on October 1, rounding out the picture for the festive automobile rush.
