In January 2024, sales in the Passenger vehicle segment stood at 3,93,074 units, in Two-wheeler segment at 14,95,183 units and in Three-wheeler segment 53,537 units were sold.

According to Mr. Vinod Aggarwal, President, SIAM, Passenger Vehicle sales have remained resilient led by positive consumer sentiments, while Two-Wheeler Segment witnessed good growth in January as well, as the rural market continues to recover. Three-Wheeler segment has also performed better. Though the Commercial Vehicle Sector did not grow in January 2024, it is likely to see good offtake in next 2 months of this financial year. Governments strategic focus on mobility in Budget 2024, including strengthening the electric vehicle ecosystem, especially the charging infra and public transport, should help in continuing with the overall growth momentum for the Auto Sector.
