Passenger vehicle sales were marginally up at 3,23,256 units last month as compared to 3,20,291 units in August 2024, FADA said
NEW DELHI: Total vehicle retail sales in India grew by a modest 2.84 per cent to 19,64,547 units in August as against 19,10,312 units in the same month last year, as customers postponed purchases expecting a price cut ahead of GST reforms, Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) said on Monday.
Passenger vehicle (PV) sales were marginally up at 3,23,256 units last month as compared to 3,20,291 units in August 2024, FADA said in a statement.
PV retails in August recorded a modest growth of 0.93 per cent YoY.
Two-wheeler retail sales in August this year were at 13,73,675 units as against 13,44,380 units in the year-ago month, up 2.18 per cent, it added.
FADA said in the two-wheeler segment enquiries remained strong, fuelled by the onset of festivals such as Onam and Ganesh Chaturthi, with many customers keen on auspicious-day deliveries.
However, excessive rains and localised floods in North India disrupted rural mobility, while erratic supply of popular scooter models constrained conversions.
