Passenger Vehicle Retail Sales Expected to Grow 15-16% in September Amid Steady Demand
Passenger vehicle retail sales in India are projected to grow 15-16% in September, driven by steady consumer demand and refreshed product portfolios, according to Yes Securities. The overall automobile market shows positive momentum across segments except tractors, despite uneven monsoon rainfall posing risks in northern, eastern, and southern regions. Manufacturers have implemented selective price hikes of 0.3-0.4% to offset raw material costs. Urban two-wheeler sales are stronger than rural, while commercial vehicle demand remains steady ahead of expected price increases.
