President of The Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) Ashish Harsharaj Kale said, "Unlock 1.0 coupled with increase in demand from the rural market has boosted the retail sales with respect to the May month's numbers. June registrations, although better than May is still not Indicative of the actual demand situation as lockdown woes continue in some parts and supply side is far from its complete potential." However FADA added that despite the positive trends the annual outlook continues to be grim with projected sales set to witness a de-growth range of 15 per cent - 35 per cent across various segments in FY21.
