Statewise CV sales July 2020 – Maharashtra, TN, UP, Rajasthan Top 4

In July 2020, commercial vehicle (CV) sales faced a major fall of 72.18% to hit 19,293 units compared to 69,338 units in July 2019

The Indian automotive industry is still making a slow recovery from COVID-19 and the initial lockdown protocols. Major businesses, including automobiles, were halted for almost two full months to strengthen the nation’s fight against the pandemic. From early May, automotive facilities in ‘orange’ and ‘green’ zones were allowed to operate in controlled conditions.

In the last couple of months, major OEMs started witnessing positive sales figures. The margin remains narrow at the moment but is quite a leap from April 2020 which returned virtually zero units in domestic sales. One of the main reasons behind this is the introduction of online sales platforms. Besides providing a socially distanced alternative to purchasing a new car, some of these ‘online showrooms’ offer exclusive features such as first-time benefits, live configurator, virtual assistant, etc.

However, it appears that the commercial vehicle or CV market is struggling to keep up. Sales have taken a drastic plunge and a fast recovery seems unlikely. In July 2020, commercial vehicle sales hit only 19,293 units compared to 69,338 units back in July 2019. In other words, numbers fell by over 72%!
