Amid localised lockdowns imposed by several state governments, all-India vehicle registrations declined to a nine-month low in April, according to the monthly registration data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) on Monday.

About 1.18 million vehicles, across categories, were registered last month — the lowest since July 2020, when close to 1.14 million units were registered. The registrations in April were down 32 per cent compared to the corresponding month in 2019. The numbers are not comparable with last April’s as it was a zero sales month on account of the national lockdown.
