Commenting on February 2023 sales data, Mr Vinod Aggarwal, President, SIAM said, “Overall positive sentiments in the market continues, which is also driven by encouraging announcements at the Union Budget for consumers. Auto Industry is fully geared up for transition to Phase 2 of BS 6 Emission Norms for all categories of vehicles from next month. Hike in Repo Rates in February, which would result in higher cost of borrowings, remains a concern and we hope that the rates would get moderated suitably. Moderation of CNG Fuel Prices is also important for expanding the footprint of Gas Based Mobility which is critical for Sustainable Mobility.”
Commenting on February 2023 sales data, Mr Rajesh Menon, Director General, SIAM said, “Passenger Vehicles posted its highest ever sales of February and the Three-Wheeler segment posted appreciable growth this month, compared to last two years. The Two- Wheeler segment posted a moderate growth of 8% in February 2023, compared to February 2022. In the period April – February, Two and Three-Wheelers are yet to reach the pre-Covid levels, though it is the highest ever for the Passenger Vehicles.”
