The base effect, along with low interest rates and
pent-up demand, pushed India's domestic passenger vehicle (PV) sales
higher in June on a year-on-year basis.
Sales of passenger
vehicles increased to 2,31,633 units last month compared to 1,05,617
units sold during the same period of 2020.
The Society of Indian
Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), however, said that YoY data cannot be
compared due to last year's national lockdown and the regional
restrictions in 2021.
The PV sales data comprises cars, utility vehicles (UVs) and vans.
A total of 1,21,378 passenger cars were sold in the domestic market in June, up from 55,497 units in the like period of 2020.
Similarly, the sales of other sub-categories such as UVs and vans grew on a year-on-year basis.

the off-take of vans rose to 9,495 units from 3,919 units in the year
ago period.
SIAM said that the data does not include sales figures from some key players such as Tata Motors.
Domestic
sales of two-wheelers also increased to 10,55,777 in June 2021 as
compared to 10,14,827 units sold during the same period of 2020.
The
overall domestic automobile sectors' off-take representing the sales of
passenger vehicles, two-wheelers and three-wheelers rose to 12,96,807
