Tata Motors leads the Indian Commercial Vehicle Market with a 36 percent market share but has lost 6 percent in the last five years. The company is launching new products in each segment, including Electric Commercial vehicles.
Daimler’s Indian Commercial vehicles could not register growth in the last 5 years. The Indian CV market showed impressive growth, but DICV remains stagnant at a 2 percent market share H1 FY 2025. The price is also very competitive after the discount.
DICV could get the exact recipe from Eicher Motors, which has increased its market share from 6 to 8 percent. It utilizes the optimization of Volvo’s product portfolio. Daimler India can also write success stories with Daimler Truck AG’s support in Product Strategy.
BharatBenz is in medium—and Heavy-Duty commercial vehicles (MHCV). The Market share in the MHCV segment fluctuated between 8 and 6 percent from FY 2020 to H12025.
The Indian MHCV Industry’s CAGR between FY 2020 and FY 2024 is 13.6 percent, and Daimler India CV’s CAGR is 5.1 percent. This is below half of the Industry’s CAGR.
The company established a presence on the road in the Bus segment. However, BharatBenz needs to penetrate the Small and Medium Truck Fleet owners.

Maruti just increased its market share by 1 percent in H1 FY 2025. The main reason is that the company cannot launch new products and variants to target the new Truck segment.
Ashok Leyland has successfully upgraded and launched new Rigid Haulage trucks and Buses to match product-market fit.
Scania and Volvo are Premium Brands in India. The trend of premium vehicle sales was almost similar, but the volumes were different. One reason Volvo is leading the segment is that Volvo has been in India for a long time compared to Scania. 2008, the Volvo truck price was between 50K and 60K Euro INR.
The Small Commercial Vehicle segment is the largest in India. The SCV segment share has declined by 8 percent. After having a wide network of quality roads, the demand for Light, Medium, and Heavy Commercial vehicles has increased. Long-distance road transportation is becoming popular. LCV, MCV, and HCV have better access to destination points.

Tata Motors and Eicher are two major players controlling 80 percent of the market share in H1 FY 2025. Tata Motors leads with a 41% market share, maintaining a dominant position.
Eicher follows closely at 39% with the right product market fit.
Ashok Leyland lost 10 percent of its market share in just 5 years. In H1 FY 2025, the company held a 14 percent market share in the MCV segment.

Mahindra and Other brands remain small players. Mahindra needs to improve its after-sales and Technology in the HCV segment.
The Indian Government is planning to construct 40km per day. This will not only boost this segment but also help to increase road transportation. India is the fastest-growing economy in the world, and it directly impacts the Indian Commercial Vehicle market.
