Luxury car segment like a growing startup, may hit 5% of car sales: Audi

He also said that the company is expecting to do better in sales performance this year after witnessing a dip in volumes in the previous year on account of supply chain issues.

Automobile retail sales rise 7% in January, PV segment up 16%: Fada

Automobile retail sales in India rose 7 per cent year-on-year in January at 22,91,621 units, driven by robust demand across segments, dealer's body FADA said on Thursday. Overall retail sales stood at 21,49,117 units in January 2024. "Our observations indicate that each vehicle category --2W, 3W, PV, tractor and CV-- witnessed positive momentum, pointing toward sustained consumer confidence and steady market recovery," the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) President C S Vigneshwar said in a statement. Passenger vehicle retail sales jumped 16 per cent year-on-year to 4,65,920 units last month.

Inventory levels have improved, dropping by around five days to 50-55 days, suggesting improved supply-demand balance, he added. Two-wheeler retails stood at 15,25,862 units last month, an increase of 4 per cent, as
