State-wise Car Sales Statistics – FY17

We have been closely tracking the state-wise car statistics in past 1 year. You can find the previous posts on the topic here and here. Indian demographics have always amazed us and the trend is very volatile. The same is seen in the statewise sales data as well. Ex: Kerala was the No.2 state in terms of Passenger vehicle sales in the first half of FY17, fell to No.5 position for the entire year. The other startling fact to be reiterated here is Maharashtra as a state alone sells more than 13 states in East Zone! Also there is no state from South Zone in the Top 3 states of FY17 (while South Zone is the second best zone in terms of numbers)! Also to be noted here is the volumes of Delhi market (without NCR sales) is over 2 Lakh units in previous FY.

The intent of this post is to highlight the contribution of individual states in overall passenger car sales and how seasonality effects sales in various regions of the sub-continent. A look at the Top Selling States for Apr’16-Mar’17 period:
