Rajan Wadhera, President, SIAM, said, “After few consecutive of months of plummeted sales in a post-Covid scenario, there are signs of green-shoots in Passenger vehicles and two-wheelers, where the Year-on-Year de-growth is much lesser than the previous months. The sales numbers in the month of August would indicate, if this is a sustainable demand and not just a pent-up demand”.

According to FADA a total of 11,42,633 vehicles were registered in the entire country in the month of July, which is 16 per cent more than the number of vehicles registered in June 2020. However, according to FADA a total of 17,92,879 vehicles were registered in July 2019, which means this month has seen a big negative growth of 36 per cent when compared to the previous year.
