YoY sales continue to register a decline – But sales are showing improvement MoM

As per data published by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), three-wheeler sales continued to witness negative growth in September. A total of 24,060 units were sold in September, which is YoY de-growth of -58.86%. Sales during the corresponding period last year stood at 58,485 units.

MoM sales have improved

However, just like other auto segments, green shoots are visible in three-wheeler space as well. Sales in September are much better as compared to August 2020, when a total of 16,857 units were sold. In that month, YoY de-growth was much higher at -69.51%.

While preference for personal transport still holds sway among people, it appears that things are gradually moving towards normalcy. A walk through busy streets reveals that auto rickshaws are back in demand, in quite the same way as they were earlier. So much has changed in just a couple of months.

Things are expected to improve further in the peak festive season of October and November. This is the time when things like consumer activity and movement of people is at an all-time high.
