Festive spirit and GST 2.0 spark auto retail revival

NEW DELHI: Passenger vehicle sales in India surged 35 per cent year-on-year during the nine-day Navratri period this year, driving overall automobile registrations in September up by 6 per cent, according to data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) on Tuesday.

Retail momentum, which had remained subdued for most of the month, picked up sharply after the rollout of revised GST rates on September 22, coinciding with the start of Navratri.

During the festive period, passenger vehicle sales reached 2,17,744 units, compared to 1,61,443 units in the same period last year. ‘This surge helped the segment close September with 2,99,369 units, a modest 6 per cent growth from 2,82,945 units in September 2024.
