Auto Sales December 2025: Ashok Leyland Reports 27% YoY, 18% MoM Growth

Ashok Leyland capped December 2025 with a robust sales performance across commercial vehicle segments, reinforcing sustained demand in India’s freight and passenger transport sectors. The company reported 21,533 total sales (domestic and exports) in December 2025, representing a 27 percent year-on-year (YoY) increase over the 16,923 units sold during the same month in previous year. 

December’s volumes also indicated a clear improvement over November 2025 sales of 18,272 units (including exports), highlighting positive month-on-month (MoM) growth of 18 percent as the industry heads into 2026. Domestic sales in December increased, reflecting recovery in haulage, construction and logistics activities. 

M&HCV Segment: Fleet Expansion and Freight Activity

The Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicle (M&HCV) segment remained a key growth driver in December. Domestic M&HCV sales rose strongly compared with November figures, underpinned by fleet replacements and higher freight movement. Compared to December 2024, M&HCV volumes expanded significantly YoY, driven by robust deliveries in long-haul transport and infrastructure sectors. Total domestic sales of the M&HCV segment stood at 13,553 units that resulted in a YoY growth of 29% as compared to 10,488 units sold in December last year.

Bus Sales: Continued Uptake in Passenger Segment

The bus segment delivered noteworthy growth in December, with the uptick in school, intercity and institutional transport orders contributing to higher volumes. In December 2025, Ashok Leyland domestic bus sales posted a strong YoY increase, with 2,166 units sold domestically, and the momentum carried into December. This reflects improved travel activity compared to December 2024 and steady fleet additions by state and private operators. 

LCV Segment: Last-Mile Logistics Gains

Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) continued to perform strongly, supported by last-mile delivery demand from e-commerce and urban logistics. In November 2025, LCV sales grew 37 percent YoY to 6,253 units, and December volumes sustained this momentum, further solidifying the segment’s YoY performance relative to December 2024. The MoM increase from November highlights improving utilisation and fleet expansion in short-haul applications.

The MoM gains underline accelerating demand at the close of the year, while YoY growth across segments confirms continued market strength. With infrastructure spending, logistics expansion and passenger transport demand remaining supportive, the company is well positioned for continued sales traction in early 2026.
