Toyota's release gave only year-to-date growth. Set against last October, sales fell sharply, though January to October is still up 3%.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor sold 30,360 vehicles in October 2026, 29.2% fewer than the 42,892 it sold in October 2025, according to the company's monthly sales releases.
Sales in India fell 26.7% to 29,521 units, from 40,257. Exports dropped to 839 from 2,635.
