Automobile retail sales in India dropped 8 per cent on an annual basis in July on account of fall in registrations of passenger vehicles, two-wheelers and tractors
Demand for two-wheelers continues to be weak while that for passenger and commercial vehicles remains robust as compared with last year, a survey by ratings agency Icra has revealed.
The total wholesales across categories, excluding commercial vehicles, declined to 1,586,873 units last month, compared to 1,790,115 units in August 2020.
The country's largest two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp on Wednesday reported 22 per cent dip in total sales at 453,879 units in August as compared with same month last year
Hikes come at a time when boost in some categories from pent-up demand and festive spending fades, and the economic impact from the pandemic reasserts itself, rating agency says
