Share of passenger cars in total vehicle fleet India FY 1951-2020

Passenger cars accounted for about 13.4 percent of the total operating vehicle fleet across India in financial year 2020. The relative low percentage was due to the fact that India’s automotive market is dominated by two-wheelers. Two-wheelers had a market share of over 80 percent among the vehicles sold in financial year 2020. Leading passenger car manufacturers India’s passenger car market is dominated by Maruti Suzuki with almost half of the market share. By the end of 2019, it became the only car manufacturer in India to sell over 20 million passenger vehicles. Tata Motors and Hyundai Motors are the two main competitors of Maruti Suzuki. In the export market, Hyundai surpasses Maruti Suzuki by a small margin and Tata Motors leads the domestic commercial vehicle market with a share of 42.3 percent. Two-wheelers in India India was the largest producer of two-wheelers in the world. The leading manufacturer of two-wheelers in the country was Hero MotoCorp, followed by Honda and TVS. The popularity of two-wheelers has been increasing for many years, owing to their relative affordable price, the inadequate public transport system, increasing traffic congestion, and narrow, difficult to navigate Indian roads. However, the huge number of two-wheelers on the road has also created many issues i.e., air pollution, traffic accidents, and still worsening traffic congestion.

在2020财年，印度总运营车辆车队中，乘用车占比约为13.4%。这一相对较低的比例源于印度汽车市场主要由两轮车主导。在2020财年销售的车辆中，两轮车的市场份额超过80%。在印度乘用车市场中，马鲁蒂铃木占据主导地位，其市场份额几乎占据了一半。截至2019年底，马鲁蒂铃木成为印度唯一一家年销量超过2000万辆乘用车的汽车制造商。塔塔汽车和现代汽车是马鲁蒂铃木的两大竞争对手。在出口市场上，现代汽车以微弱优势超越马鲁蒂铃木，而塔塔汽车则以42.3%的市场份额领跑国内商用车市场。在印度的两轮车领域，印度是世界上最大的两轮车生产国。国内领先的两轮车制造商为英雄摩托车公司，其后依次为本田和TVS。由于两轮车价格相对低廉、公共交通系统不足、交通拥堵日益严重以及印度道路狭窄且难以驾驶，两轮车的普及度已连续多年上升。然而，道路上庞大的两轮车数量也引发了诸多问题，例如空气污染、交通事故以及持续恶化的交通拥堵。
