India's Festive Auto Sales Show Mixed Trends; Two-Wheelers Outperform Passenger Vehicles
India's automobile sector showed mixed demand during the first 14 days of the festive season, with two-wheeler registrations rising 16% year-on-year, outperforming passenger vehicles, which declined 6%. Despite strong growth in the first half of FY27, passenger vehicle demand moderated in the second week. Truck and tractor registrations surged 76%, partly due to a low base last year. The data reflects a stronger outlook for two-wheelers amid varied trends across vehicle segments, according to a Jefferies report.
