Why were CarTrade Tech shares in demand?

The stock was in demand after the company’s platform CarWale and BikeWale recorded record high traffic on the first day of Navratri.

 

On Monday, CarWale and BikeWale recorded their highest-ever single-day traffic, according to the company filing. 

 

Traffic surged to an all-time peak, registering a 74 per cent growth compared to the first day of Navratri last year and a 60 per cent increase over the August 2025 daily average. The spike highlights the combined impact of festive season demand and the recent goods and services tax (GST) rate cut, which has enhanced affordability and lifted consumer sentiment across the automobile sector, according to the company. 

 

“Yesterday was a landmark day for our platforms. The festive excitement, amplified by GST-led affordability, has fueled unprecedented consumer activity. This milestone underscores the trust that millions of Indians place in CarWale and BikeWale when researching and purchasing vehicles,” said Banwari Lal Sharma, CEO – consumer group, CarTrade Tech.
