Mr Sanjay Aggarwal, Chairperson, Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations Jammu said that in the month of January 2025 Passenger Vehicle Category and Tractor Vehicle Category showed a growth of 14.86% and 44.36% respectively, where as 2 Wheeler, 3 Wheeler and Commercial Vehicle Category witnessed degrowth, which is a matter of concern. For PV category, new launches, wedding-season demand, and year-start promotions drive the footfall and increased sales in Jan 25.
Mr Aggarwal said that, Near-Term Outlook riding on the momentum of a promising start to 2025, the Auto Retail sector enters February with cautious optimism. According to our latest survey, nearly half of dealers (46%) anticipate growth in the coming month, while 43% expect sales to stay flat and 11% foresee a dip. This blend of sentiments underscores the industry’s complex landscape where bright spots are tempered by ongoing challenges.
Mr Aggarwal said that, on the positive side, dealers report that the continuing marriage season, fresh product launches and strategic promotional activities are likely to sustain customer footfalls. Furthermore, improved inventory management, better financing options from select lenders and backlogged orders in certain segments (such as commercial vehicles) add to the sense of guarded confidence.
Mr Aggarwal added that with supportive policies and a post-budget lift in consumer sentiment, we believe February could see a stable or slightly elevated sales curve. |
