India's Auto Sales Rise in September Amid Festive Season, Tractor Sales Lag
India's automobile sector saw broad-based growth in September, with passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, and commercial vehicles reporting strong sales increases, while tractor sales lagged. Growth partly reflects a low base from last year due to GST-related timing. Automakers like Hyundai Motor India and Mahindra Mahindra posted notable gains, driven by festive season stocking, new model launches, and financing offers. However, tractor sales declined due to high previous-year comparisons and weaker agricultural demand amid a patchy monsoon.
