While the passenger vehicle industry had projected a YoY growth of 17.5% in terms of Wholesales (source); the registrations have dropped by -8.8% in Oct’20 v/s Oct’19.
Commenting on how October’20 performed, FADA President, Mr. Vinkesh Gulati said, “October continues to see positive momentum on monthly basis but on a yearly basis the negative slide continues to increase. The 9 days Navratri period witnessed robust vehicle registrations but could not save October to go in red as compared to last year when both Navratri and Diwali were in the same month.”
