BMW Group India recorded its best-ever first-half sales, delivering 9,075 vehicles between January and June 2026, a 17% increase over the same period last year. The strong performance reflects rising demand for premium vehicles and electric cars in the Indian market.
The company sold 8,623 BMW and MINI cars and 452 BMW Motorrad motorcycles, making it the highest first-half sales figure in its history. The growth also helped BMW narrow the gap with rival Mercedes-Benz in India’s competitive luxury car segment.
Electric vehicles played a major role in the company’s success. BMW reported a 78% jump in EV deliveries, highlighting the growing acceptance of premium electric mobility among Indian buyers. Popular electric models such as the BMW iX1, i4 and iX continued to attract strong demand, supported by expanding charging infrastructure and increasing consumer interest in sustainable transportation.
BMW said sports utility vehicles (SUVs) remained its biggest growth driver, accounting for a significant share of overall sales. Models including the X1, X3, X5 and X7 continued to perform well, while premium sedans also maintained steady demand.
According to the company, the strong results were driven by a combination of new product launches, customer confidence and a broader shift towards premium mobility. BMW also credited its growing digital sales initiatives and improved after-sales services for helping strengthen customer engagement.
The company remains optimistic about the rest of the year, expecting demand for luxury vehicles to stay healthy despite global economic uncertainties.
