AUTOMOBILE RETAIL SALES rose by 3% year-on-year in April, reaching 2.28 million units, up from 2.22 million units in the same month last year, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). Every vehicle segment saw a rise in sales during the month barring commercial vehicles, which registered a slight decline.
The growth was driven by festive demand linked to occasions such as Akshay Tritiya, Bengali New Year, Baisakhi, and Vishu, coupled with improved consumer sentiment following a pause in the global tariff war that had earlier weighed on market confidence.
