Toyota Kirloskar Motor Records 5% YoY Sales Growth in June 2025

New Delhi, July 1: Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has continued its positive sales trajectory, reporting a 5% year-on-year increase in sales for June 2025. The company dispatched a total of 28,869 units, up from 27,474 units in June 2024, demonstrating sustained momentum in both domestic and international markets.

According to a company statement issued on Tuesday, domestic sales accounted for 26,453 units, while exports contributed 2,416 units. This consistent performance underscores TKM’s effective customer engagement strategies and operational focus across its sales and service verticals.

Commenting on the performance, Varinder Wadhwa, Vice President, Sales-Service-Used Car Business, said,

“We continue to strongly engage with our customers through after-sales service support offerings and value-added offerings that are aimed at enriching their ownership experience at every step.”

He further noted that the company remains committed to market responsiveness, adding,

“As we move through the rest of the year, we will remain agile and focused on what our customers want and continue to serve the market effectively.”

Broader Market Context and Toyota’s Strategy

Toyota’s June sales figures come amidst a dynamic Indian automotive market. While some segments, such as passenger vehicles, have seen mixed performance and even declines in retail sales in June, Toyota has consistently maintained a growth trajectory. This is largely attributed to its strong portfolio of MPVs and SUVs, which continue to be key drivers of growth in the Indian market. Models like the Innova HyCross, Innova Crysta, Fortuner, and Urban Cruiser Hyryder have been particularly popular.

For the first half of 2025 (January–June), TKM has already recorded a 16% rise in total sales, reaching 174,885 units compared to 150,250 units in the same period last year. The company achieved its highest-ever annual sales in the last fiscal year (FY24-25), with 337,148 units sold, representing a 28% increase over FY23-24.

Toyota’s strategy in India includes a “multi-pathway approach” that offers a diverse range of technology options, including strong hybrids. In June, a key highlight was the launch of the Fortuner and Legender in their new ‘Neo Drive’ variants, which incorporate an advanced 48-volt system for enhanced fuel efficiency, performance, and comfort. The company is also making strides in its sustainability initiatives, having recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Ohmium International to explore scalable, green hydrogen-driven power solutions, such as microgrids.

Furthermore, safety remains a paramount focus for TKM. The Toyota Innova HyCross recently became the first MPV to receive a 5-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP (BNCAP), India’s vehicle crash assessment program, reinforcing Toyota’s commitment to vehicle safety standards in the country.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor operates two manufacturing plants in Bidadi, Karnataka, with a combined annual production capacity of 342,000 units, supporting its growing demand both domestically and for exports. The company continues to expand its presence, focusing on Tier II and Tier III cities to enhance accessibility for customers across India.

What’s Ahead?

Toyota Kirloskar Motor is expected to maintain its upward sales momentum through the second half of 2025, driven by strong demand for its MPVs and hybrid SUVs. The company is likely to focus on expanding its hybrid portfolio, capitalising on rising consumer interest in fuel-efficient and sustainable mobility options. With launches like the Neo Drive variants and strategic investments in green hydrogen and rural expansion, Toyota’s long-term growth trajectory remains well-supported. Industry watchers will be looking out for further volume milestones and new product rollouts in the festive quarter.
