Honda Cars India September 2025 sales rise to 8,096 units with GST push

September has brought a much-needed bounce back for Honda Cars India Ltd. (HCIL). The company reported total sales of 8,096 units, with 5,303 sold domestically and 2,793 exported. After a quieter August, September’s uptick hints at customers warming up to the festive season, and perhaps more importantly, to the new GST benefits.

"In September, we witnessed a strong pick-up in both wholesales and deliveries from Navratras onwards, as customers aligned their purchases following the GST-related announcements," said Kunal Behl, Vice President, Marketing & Sales, HCIL. “The GST 2.0 has come as a boon for customers and the auto industry alike. Cars are now more affordable, and with ongoing offers, we expect this momentum to continue into October, riding the Dhanteras and Diwali spirit."

For context, September 2024 had been a stronger month, with 10,911 units sold - 5,675 domestically and 5,236 exported. That means there’s a year-on-year decline, but when seen month-on-month, September 2025 is a clear improvement over August’s 6,774 units, signaling that customers were waiting for festival season deals and GST clarity before committing.

Earlier in the month, the carmaker reduced the prices of its model under GST 2.0. The entire Honda Amaze lineup now sits under ₹10, while the Honda City and the Honda Elevate are priced between ₹11.95- 16.07 lakh and ₹10.99-16.34, respectively.
