CV sales also saw a slight drop when compared to May

FADA President C S Vigneshwar said, "Heavy rains and tight market liquidity weighed on footfall and conversion, even as elevated incentive schemes and fresh bookings lent selective support. While festival and marriage-season demand provided a boost, financing constraints and intermittent variant shortages moderated sales. As we enter July 2025, dealer sentiment appears tilted towards slowdown".
