India Passenger Vehicle Sales Nearly Double In September

Highlights
Passenger vehicle sales for September in India nearly doubled to 307,389 units from a year ago, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) said on Thursday.
Production for the month also rose 88% to 372,126, the Indian auto industry lobby group said.
Sales in the world's fourth-largest car market have rebounded as crippling semiconductor shortages ease. Demand has also been propped by the festive season, which typically starts around the month of October when many Indians make big-ticket purchases.
"Recent increase in the prices of CNG fuel, higher repo rates and the Russia-Ukraine conflict are of concern and could impact the market in the coming months," SIAM President Vinod Aggarwal said.
Passenger vehicle sales across the July-September rose 38.4% to 1,026,309 units, SIAM said.
Two wheeler sales, a good indication of rural buying power, rose to 12.9% 1,735,199 units and 13% for the quarter.
"Off-take of entry level two-wheelers and entry level passenger vehicles have been of concern especially as the rural demand has not picked up," said Rajesh Menon, director general of SIAM.
Monthly sales for mopeds fell nearly 23% to 47,613 units.

Carmakers in India are still recovering from the hit which car sales took from several headwinds in 2018. Automakers have been witnessing sluggish demand for the last four months which is been due to factors like rising fuel prices, onetime payment of insurance premium and a rise in interest rates. India's largest carmaker- Maruti Suzuki has recorded a marginal volume growth of 1 per cent in December 2018 selling 119,804 units of passenger vehicles against 118,560 Units in the same month last year. The growth was largely sustained by the Utility Vehicle (UV) segment as the Vitara Brezza continued to perform well. New models- the recently launched 2018 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and 2018 Ciaz too remained in Demand. However, the mini and compact car segment which together constitutes a huge chunk of volumes witnessed muted sales which in-turn had a significant impact on volumes.
