Impressive growth in e-rickshaw and e-cart segment too! Good to see the push towards electric mobility. The 48.6% surge in moped sales also shows rural demand is picking up. Positive sign for the overall economy. 💪
While numbers look great, we need to see if these are actual retail sales or just inventory pushing to dealers. Many dealerships in my area are sitting with huge stock. Would be better to have retail vs wholesale data for clearer picture. 🤔
Finally some positive news! After two years of sluggish demand, this is a welcome change. The semiconductor shortage seems to be easing too. Hoping the festive season brings even better numbers. 🙏
Consistent growth across all segments shows India's economic resilience. The two-wheeler numbers especially indicate rural recovery. This bodes well for employment in the auto ancillary sector too.
The 33.4% growth in three-wheelers is notable - shows commercial transport is thriving. But I'm worried about increasing traffic congestion in cities like Bengaluru and Delhi. We need better public transport infrastructure alongside this growth! 🚦
Good to see SUV demand driving the PV growth, but
