Passenger vehicle retail sales increased 40.15 percent YoY with Tata Motors taking a No. 2 spot over Hyundai by a very slim margin
In the earlier post, we discussed the wholesales reported by car manufacturers – cars sold by OEMs to their dealers. In this post, we will take a look at retail sales nos – cars sold by dealers to consumers. Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), the apex national body of Automobile Retail Industry in India, has released retail sales charts for the month of June 2022. Every segment has seen a growth in sales with total vehicle retails up 27 percent.
The passenger vehicle segment in particular saw a 40.15 percent YoY growth and while the segment had been contending with shortage of semi-conductor supplies, the situation appears to have eased. The demand for SUVs continues to remain high, extending to a long waiting period in some cases and new product launches have seen robust bookings.
