Based on SIAM figures for September 2026, as reported by Angel One. Summarised in our own words.
Vehicle makers sent more vehicles to dealers in September 2026 than a year earlier in all three categories reported by SIAM. Here are the figures.
September 2026 compared with September 2025
- Passenger vehicles (dispatches): 4,54,574, against 3,73,347. That is up 21.8%.
- Two-wheelers (sales): 24.63 lakh, against 21.70 lakh. Up 13.5%.
- Three-wheelers (dispatches): 98,162, against 84,635. Up 16%.
One detail to remember: the two-wheeler number is reported as sales, while passenger vehicles and three-wheelers are dispatches from factories to dealers. Dispatches show what makers send out, not always what customers buy that month. The source page did not list reasons for the rise, so we do not guess them here.
Why job seekers can watch these numbers
Vehicle sales are one of the early signs of how busy dealerships, workshops, finance companies and parts suppliers will be. A rise across all categories, as in this report, is generally a healthy sign for the sector.
