Semiconductor Crunch Chips Away At Car Sales

Notwithstanding robust demand, passenger vehicle (PV) sales in November remained in the slow lane. Semiconductor shortage continued to cripple production. With supply-side issues easing month-on-month, the worst seems to be behind, observe industry executives. They, however, remain noncommittal on the time frame for production returning to normal. Overall PV sales during the month declined 14 per cent to 286,000 units, compared with 246,000 units a year ago, reveal industry estimates.

PV sales rose 12.73 per cent YoY in November 2020 to 285,367 units, against 253,139 units in the same month in 2019.

Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India's (MSIL's) November sales in the domestic market slipped 19 per cent to 109,726 units, against 135,775 units in the same month last year, due to shortage of electronic components, the company said in a statement.

The overall sales in the PV segment were dragged down by the sale of the mini and compact models that saw volumes crimp to 74,492 units, against 98,969 units in the same month last year.
