Discover the trends in Car Brand Sales for April 2024, with a focus on the decline in Month-over-Month sales in the Indian Market. Stay up-to-date with our in-depth analysis and reports.
Key Highlights:
In April 2024, approximately 337,000 passenger cars were sold in India, marking a nearly stagnant performance compared to April of the previous year. This figure reflects an 8.7% decline from the preceding month of March 2024.
April typically sees subdued car sales, primarily because most Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) implement price increases during this period, and there are no major festivals to drive sales. Additionally, following a robust March, automakers tend to ease off deliveries in April. The decrease in dispatches can be attributed to various factors such as the high sales base from the previous year, elevated dealer inventories, dwindling demand for compact cars, and the onset of general elections.
The impact of the ongoing elections, coupled with the enforcement of the model code of conduct, is expected to further dampen passenger vehicle sales in May 2024. This is anticipated to slow down cash transactions, consequently affecting overall sales. It's worth noting that the surge in bookings has significantly declined due to increased supply levels and improvements in semiconductor availability.
