BMW Group reports record H1 2025 sales as EV and SAV demand accelerates
BMW Group India has achieved its best ever car and motorbike deliveries in the first half (H1) of 2025, which indicates good market performance despite wider economic headwinds. The company retailed 7,774 BMW and MINI brand vehicles and dispatched 2,569 motorcycles between January to June 2025.
BMW contributed 7,477 units alone to the total, while MINI contributed 297 units. The second quarter, April–June, was especially robust, with all three months posting the company's highest-ever sales.

BMW Group India's electric vehicle (EV) portfolio showed impressive momentum, recording a 234 per cent year-on-year growth with 1,322 BMW and MINI EVs sold in H1 2025. EVs now make up 18 per cent of the company's total car sales.
