Maruti Suzuki's Dominance Wanes as Tata, Hyundai Surge in Indian Car Market

• Maruti Suzuki's presence in India's top 10 best-selling cars dropped from 8 models in 2021 to 6 by November, indicating declining market dominance.
• Tata Motors and Hyundai are intensifying competition, with Tata Punch ending Maruti's four-decade reign as the top-selling car in 2024 and 2025.
• Hyundai Creta and Tata Nexon secured 2nd and 3rd spots respectively from January to November, breaking Maruti's long-held top 5 dominance.
• Despite SUV trends, Maruti Dzire remains a strong contender with 215,000 units sold, potentially India's best-selling car by end of 2025, boosted by CNG variants.
• New model launches, like Tata Motors Sierra's 70,000 day-one bookings, signal fierce competition and growing demand for mid-size SUVs.
