However, Nomura Ratings estimates that the passenger vehicle industry wholesales at 337000 in April 2024, displaying 2 per cent yoy growth, slightly below the rating agency's expectation of 343000. The PV dispatches from showrooms are forecast at 317000-320000, representing 20,000 inventory additions in April 2024.
Arun Agarwal, an analyst at Kotak Securities estimates that the PV industry's domestic wholesale volumes increased by a low singledigit over April 2023. According to Kapil Singh and Siddhartha Bera of Nomura, the 2W EV retail sales share declined month on month to 4 per cent (from 9 per cent in March 2024) to 64000 units and 4.3 per cent yoy due to pull-forward of demand in March 2024 as the subsidy was reduced in April.
