The festive season has led the road to recovery for the Indian automobile sector in November. Nearly all companies have seen a gradual ramp-up and are expected to report positive sales, all thanks to the festive boost. The month saw strong demand for personal vehicles; however, two-wheelers fell short of expectations during the period.

A Nirmal Bang report highlighted that passenger vehicle (PV) dispatches are likely to improve YoY due to good festive demand, upcoming wedding season, and soft base due to the overlapping of Diwali in November this year.

“Retail demand was strong. Enquiries and bookings witnessed continued momentum and were higher YoY. But, retail deliveries were affected due to lower dispatches during the festive season,” the report said

The recovery in the two-wheeler segment was surprising, but the festive demand lagged compared to last year. “The 2W dealers indicate that retail sales during festivals fell short of expectations and were lower YoY,” the report added.

Here’s what to expect from Maruti, M&M, Hero, Bajaj Auto and other automakers in November auto sales.
