March 2024: 3,22,345 cars sold In India, -6.17% decline

New Delhi, April 8, 2024 – The Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) unveiled a blend of optimism and resilience in the Indian Auto Retail sector for March 2024 and the fiscal year 2024, marking a journey of modest growth amidst economic headwinds. The latest data release paints a picture of an industry navigating through challenges with strategic evolution, especially within the electric vehicle (EV) sphere, and setting new benchmarks in vehicle retail growth.

In March 2024, the auto retail sector witnessed a 3.14% year-over-year (YoY) growth, fueled by notable performances in the two-wheeler (2W) and three-wheeler (3W) segments, which grew by 5% and 17% respectively. A surge in electric vehicle sales, particularly in the 2W-EV market, marked a historic achievement as it reached a 9.12% market share for the first time, propelled by the expiration of the FAME 2 subsidy.

Despite the looming challenges of economic concerns and election uncertainties, the 2W segment displayed remarkable adaptability, focusing on premium and electric vehicles. The 3W segment thrived, driven by the rising acceptance of electric vehicles, showcasing optimism even amidst potential policy changes. However, the passenger vehicle (PV) sector faced headwinds with a decline in sales, attributed to heavy discounting and selective financing.

For the fiscal year 2024, the Indian Auto Retail sector boasted a 10% YoY growth, with significant contributions across all segments, setting new records especially in the 3W, PV, and tractor (Trac) categories. The 2W segment’s resurgence was led by enhanced model availability and the burgeoning EV market, while the 3W segment set a new industry benchmark with a 49% YoY growth. The PV segment achieved an all-time high with an 8.45% growth, largely driven by the SUV segment, which now claims a 50% market share.

The near-term outlook for the industry remains cautiously optimistic, amidst a decline in consumer sentiment and unchanged lending rates. However, the sector is poised to leverage festive occasions and new product launches, particularly in the EV space, to stimulate demand. Looking ahead to FY’25, the industry is set for growth, underpinned by economic recovery, favorable government policies, and an expected good monsoon, despite facing challenges such as intense competition and the need for strategic market engagement.

FADA’s online members survey reveals a mix of liquidity and sentiment, with a majority expecting growth in both April 2024 and FY’25. As the Indian Auto Industry gears up for an exciting future, it remains committed to overcoming obstacles with innovation and strategic planning, paving the way for sustained growth and broader market penetration.
