"Despite offering various schemes, the show-room traffic has come down drastically and enquiry conversions are also not taking place. The market sentiment continues to remain subdued due to poor economic conditions and various other factors," GM India Vice President P Balendran said.

High interest rates, high fuel prices and political uncertainties have impacted the sales of automobile manufacturers, he added.

"We are not expecting any improvement in the short term, but there can be some movement during the festival season, which is also possible only if the interest rate comes down and economic situation improves in the coming months," Balendran said.
