GST Reforms Support Auto Industry Growth; Tata Motors Reports EV Booking Surge

He projected India's car market to reach 6.3 million units by 2031, with small cars growing faster. Separately, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd reported a threefold increase in electric vehicle bookings over six months, constrained by production capacity. The company anticipates a strong festive season, potentially marking the industry's largest quarter, driven by GST reforms and shifting consumer preferences.
