Several automobile manufacturers reported strong sales in October. While Maruti Suzuki dominated the top ten selling automobiles, a recently released micro-SUV from another domestic carmaker also made a list. Tata Motors' Punch, released in the third week of October, ranked tenth on the list. According to a media source, Maruti Suzuki vehicles occupy the top four positions, including the month's four best-sellers. Two more Maruti Suzuki models are ranked seventh and ninth in the list of best-selling cars.

The Maruti Suzuki Alto is the best-selling automobile, with 17,389 units sold in October 2021, a 5,000-unit increase from September 2021.
