5 Biggest Rumours In The Indian Auto Industry In 2025 - Busted
In 2025, with the help of AI, many big rumours circulated across social media and various websites. Most of them felt genuine, and people got excited thinking about possible car launches, brand comebacks, and new players entering the Indian market. However, many of them turned out to be fake, and now we are going to list these rumours one by one, which are now busted.
5 Biggest Rumours In The Indian Auto Industry In 2025
1. Ford Endeavour Comeback in India
One of the biggest rumours that circulated throughout 2025 was the comeback of the Ford Everest or Endeavour to the Indian market. The iconic American brand exited the industry in 2021. Ford even sold its Sanand plant to Tata Motors, but retained the Chennai plant and even agreed to restart engine production.
Some reports claimed that their popular full-size SUV, the Endeavour, would be relaunched in India in 2025. We are now at the end of the year, and there is still nothing official from the brand. But one thing is real - we Indians still miss Ford cars.
2. Tata Entering the Two-Wheeler Market
Another rumour that created huge buzz on the internet in the latter part of 2025 was that Tata Motors was entering the two-wheeler market. Some websites even released images of a 125cc "Tata bike," claiming it was seen in Tata dealerships.
Other such rumours stated that Tata was developing new electric scooters that would launch in 2025 to rival TVS, Ather, Bajaj, and Ola Electric. All these rumours are now busted, as Tata Motors officially clarified that it has no plans to enter the two-wheeler market.
3. Yamaha RX100 Comeback
The Japanese manufacturer's most celebrated bike, the Yamaha RX100, was rumoured to make its comeback in India in 2025. Many auto enthusiasts and RX100 fans were thrilled and eagerly waiting for the iconic bike's return.
But neither Yamaha nor its dealers confirmed this news. Instead, they introduced the XSR155 retro motorcycle, which is also a similar retro-designed motorcycle. The RX100 return is now completely fake. The newly launched XSR 155 is the indirect replacement for the Yamaha RX 100.
Yamaha is already popular in the entry-level performance segment with the R15 and Mt-15. We believe Yamaha is unlikely to launch any 100cc bikes in the next few years, as previous models in this segment failed to capture consumer interest.
4. Hindustan Ambassador EV
The iconic and one of the most recognisable cars in India, the Hindustan Ambassador, was rumoured to be making a comeback in an electrified form. After this news spread, many fans became nostalgic and started circulating WhatsApp messages and social media posts about its return.
There were even speculations about Stellantis relaunching the Ambassador nameplate in India. It was one of the most popular Indian cars, but its production was stopped decades ago due to lower demand. However, the news remained just a rumour, and there wasn't even a single official comment from Stellantis regarding Ambassador's comeback.
5. Renault and Nissan Exit Indian Market
Sister brands Renault and Nissan were rumoured to exit the Indian market by the end of 2025. However, this news is completely fake, as both brands have denied it and are set to launch several new products in 2026.
Renault has already launched the updated Kiger and Triber in the Indian market, and soon it will launch the iconic compact SUV, the new Renault Duster, on January 26, 2026. Nissan, on the other hand, will launch the Triber-based Gravite MPV and the Duster-based Tekton SUV next year. Hence, rumours about Renault and Nissan exiting India have now proven to be fake.
