Sales of LCVs in the 2 – 3.5 tonne segment meanwhile saw a 12 per cent uptick at 17,241 units while LCV greater than 3.5 tonne and MHCV sales were up 58 per cent over a low base of 687 units. Three-wheeler sales meanwhile witnessed a 40 per cent growth at 5,350 units retailed in the month.

As in the passenger vehicle segment, year-to-date figures for FY2023 showed much stronger cumulative growth across segments in the CV space. The sub-2-tonne LCV segment posted a 30 per cent growth rising from 28,533 units in the March 2021 to Feb 2022 window to 37,034 units in the same period in the current financial year. Similarly, the LCV 2-3.5 tonne segment saw sales grow 47 per cent to 1,80,693 units. The 3.5 tonne and up LCV and MHCV segment posted a 53 per cent growth, while three-wheeler sales were up 103 per cent in the current financial year at 52,823 units.
