Top 10 Best-Selling Cars In July 2020

These are testing times for the Indian auto industry due to the coronavirus pandemic and its resultant lockdown. However, the auto sector is picking itself up, and passenger vehicle (PV) sales in July 2020 indicate that the industry is on the path of recovery. As per the data shared by automotive insights and analytics provider, JATO Dynamics India, in July, India's total PV sales stood at 1,97,700 units, witnessing just a marginal 1 per cent decline compared to the 1,99,500 vehicles sold in July 2019. That's a major leap considering the fact that just a few months ago, in April, most manufacturers witnessed zero sales due to the lockdown. While there is still a long way to go, for now, we take a look at some of the best-selling passenger cars for the month of July 2020.
