India auto sales soar 20% in September ahead of festive seasons

Demand is expected to slowdown in the coming months, however.

During Sep-16, domestic sales of passenger vehicles rose 20% YoY and two wheelers grew 22% YoY, ahead of Diwali and Dussera in Oct-16.

MayBank KimEng's channel checks suggest the demand for automobiles is 10% more than in the previous two festive seasons.

"We expect demand to normalize lower in Nov and Dec as dealers start cutting inventories," it said in a report.

The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) confirmed the uptrend by revising up its sales growth forecast to 10-12% for FY17 from 6-8%.

"We will wait for two more months of retail sales data before deciding whether to revise up our growth forecasts," said MayBank KimEng.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
