In an encouragement to the auto makers, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) reported a strong February car sales numbers. As per SIAM data domestic car sales grew 6.85% to 1,71,727 units in February, compared to 1,60,717 units in the year ago period. SIAM stated that even though growth will remain in single digits, the passenger car sales is inching toward the lower end of the growth guidance given by automobile trade body of 5-10% in Fy15 (2014-15) as passenger vehicle sales in the first 11 months of the year to end-March rose 4 per cent to 2.36 million.

There was some concern from weakening rural sales that led to a 9% drop in motorcycle sales last month and could impact other segment in the long term as the rural market accounts for nearly half of the two wheeler demand.Overall two-wheeler sales fell 0.99% to 12,08,084 units in February from 1220141 in the year ago period. Commercial Vehicle sales continued on recovery path as its sales rose 10.13% to 52,843 units in February. Sales of heavy and medium trucks grew 38% to 18,767 units as demand picked up in the mining, infrastructure and freight related segments.

The auto industry body has further stated that the car sales have grown despite the expiry of an excise duty rebate in December and faster growth and improved consumer sentiment should boost sales of passenger cars and utility vehicles in India by 6 to 8% in the year starting in April as proposals in the budget to address economic growth “are expected to increase spending and generate fresh incremental sales.” Motorcycle sales are expected to rise by 6 to 7% next fiscal year, while scooter sales are likely to rise by a fifth.
