Rural 2-wheeler demand roars back to life
Business Standard
|July 22, 2024
Favourable monsoon, govt initiatives may sustain the trend, say experts
The two-wheeler segment has shown signs of recovery in the first half (H1) of calendar year (CY) 2024, largely driven by improving performance in rural areas.
According to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations, rural contribution to two-wheeler sales surged by 57-60 per cent in the April-June quarter of 2024-25, indicating a rising demand in these regions. Experts believe that this trend will continue, supported by a favourable monsoon season and government initiatives aimed at rural development.
Overall, two-wheeler sales in H1 of CY 2024 increased by 11.76 per cent compared to the same period in CY 2023, despite challenges such as extreme heat and the election period.
Analysts emphasise that adequate rainfall, affordability, and limited public transport options in rural areas are crucial factors driving this recovery.
