India's Festive Season Boosts New and Used Vehicle Sales Amid Market Adjustments
India's automobile sector shows strong festive demand, with passenger vehicle registrations rising 54% and two-wheeler registrations up 45% year-on-year during the festive period. Despite a recent correction in automobile stocks and concerns over raw material costs and second-half growth, investors see selective buying opportunities. The used-car market is also expected to grow 12-15% in the festive quarter, driven by rural demand, first-time buyers, and increased SUV sales, with organised players reporting significant sales growth.
