Indian automakers have witnessed good sales in May 2022, with many brands registering growth and year-on-year sales numbers. However, this growth is not equally distributed among OEMs or their models. Some models are preferred more than others; Here, we have compiled a list of top 10 selling models in India in May 2023.
