12 Aug 2020 Evaluate

The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) in its latest data has showed that Passenger vehicle (PV) wholesales in India witnessed a 3.86 percent fall to 1,82,779 units in July 2020 as compared to 1,90,115 units in the corresponding month of the previous year. It noted that the July PV sales are significantly better than June when the despatches had declined by 49.59 percent at 1,05,617 units as against 2,09,522 units in the same month last year. It added that the figures instilled some confidence in the industry.

According to the data, two-wheeler sales were down 15.24 percent in July to 12,81,354 units as compared with 15,11,717 units in the same month last year. Motorcycle sales were at 8,88,520 units, against 9,34,021 units in July 2019, down 4.87 percent. Scooter sales were also down 36.51 percent at 3,34,288 units, compared with 5,26,504 units in the year-ago month.

SIAM has stated that after a few consecutive months of plummeted sales in a post-COVID-19 scenario, there are signs of green shoots in passenger vehicles and two-wheelers, where the year-on-year de-growth is much lesser than the previous months. It also said the sales numbers in August would indicate if this is a sustainable demand and not just a pent-up demand.
