Commenting on the July 2020 data, Mr Rajesh Menon, Director General, SIAM said “The month of July was significantly better than the preceding months and it instilled some confidence into the industry. Many OEMs have registered improved sales vis-à-vis the past few months, and this brings back a sentiment of resolve to the sector.”

Mr Rajan Wadhera, President, SIAM stated “After few consecutive of months of plummeted sales in a post-Covid scenario, there are signs of Green-Shoots in Passenger vehicles and Two-Wheelers, where the Year-on-Year de-growth is much lesser than the previous months. The sales numbers in the month of August would indicate, if this is a sustainable demand and not just a pent-up demand”
