Both Tata and Hyundai sales in April 2025 reduced year on year, which means that both brands have lost market share. Tata Motors currently holds a 12.59 percent market share, down slightly from 13.61 percent in April 2024, while Hyundai’s 12.47 percent share today is significantly down on the 14.29 percent the Korean company had last year in April.
In absolute numbers, Hyundai retailed 43,642 vehicles in April 2025, a significant 11.37 percent decline from the 49,243 units sold in April 2024. However, Hyundai posted a marginal month-on-month growth of 2.66 percent compared to the 42,511 units retailed in March 2025. Despite a decrease in month-on-month sales (March 2025: 48,462 units) Tata has managed to retain its third place position on the sales charts for last month.
