According to data provided by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), retail car sales during the period from Navratri to Dussehra may slightly decrease this year. The most noticeable decline was recorded in the passenger car segment.
In the first nine days of the festive season, sales of passenger cars fell by 14% compared to last year. This drop is attributed to the high demand caused by changes in GST last year, which created a high baseline for comparison.
Nevertheless, overall vehicle sales showed a growth of 2% during the first nine days of Navratri, according to FADA data.
