The Indian passenger vehicle (PV) market is making a gradual recovery from COVID-19 and its two-month nationwide lockdown protocols that came into effect towards the end of March 2020. Sales continue to be on the lower side compared to previous or pre-COVID trends.
To make the best out of the worst, manufacturers have introduced online sales platforms to continue business operations. These ‘virtual showrooms’ promise complete ease of mind while purchasing a new vehicle.
Dealership profits will not be affected in any way since the user will be ultimately redirected to the nearest (or preferred) sales outlet. Some highlights of online sales platforms include the convenience of opting a test drive or getting the vehicle delivered at the customer’s doorsteps in a safe and sanitised environment, virtual assistants, reliable finance options, clear-cut communication channels, etc.
Even though India’s PV scenario continues to be in a state of struggle, the agricultural field appears to be doing substantially better. For starters, tractor sales have improved compared to last year. Tractor segment is the only one which has registered a positive growth in June 2020. All other segments – PV, CV, Two wheeler, 3 wheeler have reported decline.
In total, the Indian market sold 45,358 tractors last month as against 40,913 units back in June 2019; a growth of almost 11%. Here are the state-wise tractor sales figures of June 2020:
