In September, India's automotive market offered a quiet but telling signal: domestic manufacturers are finding deeper resonance with Indian consumers. Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki expanded their combined hold on the passenger vehicle segment even as the overall market grew 6% year-on-year, while established foreign players like Hyundai and Toyota ceded ground they may find difficult to reclaim. The numbers do not yet tell us whether this is a structural turning point or a momentary tide, but they invite the question of what Indian buyers are choosing — and why.
