Indian automakers have noticed good sales in May 2022, with multiple brands registering growth and increased sales numbers year-on-year. However, this growth is not equally distributed among the OEMs or their models. Some models are favoured more than others; here, we have compiled a list of the top 10 models sold in India in May 2023. Before we begin, it is to be noted that hatchbacks have proved their dominance once again this month by acquiring the top three positions in the list.
The first position on the list is acquired by Maruti Suzuki Baleno, with sales of 18,733 units. The premium hatchback showed Y-o-Y sales growth of 34.09 percent, selling 4,763 units more than last year. Following Baleno came two other hatchbacks from India's best-selling brands, i.e., Swift and WagonR, with sales of 17,346 units and 16,258 units, respectively. It is to be noted that these models were in the top three best-selling cars in April 2023 as well. However, this time the rankings have been shuffled this month.
