As expected, car sales from showrooms have increased slightly during Navratri and Durga Puja. But the picture of the whole October sales did not give relief to the industry. According to FADA, an association of car dealers, overall sales fell by about 24% last month compared to the same period last year. Due to the corona infection, the supply of parts and vehicles is irregular and there is a growing suspicion among the buyers about the demand. As a result, many do not expect the situation to change much in November. However, according to the Fader report, West Bengal in October



According to estimates, the registration of new vehicles in the country has increased by 5.11% from September to October. But the demand is lower than in October last year. Although many, including Fader President Vinkesh Gulati, say the last time Navratri and Kalipujo fell together was in October. Usually many people think it is good to buy a car at this time. So sales were high. But this time Kalipujo is in November. As a result, sales on that occasion did not receive October. Many buyers are not getting the car of their choice even though the supply of spare parts is not normal and the factories are not fully operational yet.


The exception is West Bengal. According to FADA officials, the reason for the huge sales in the state is the sale of cars stuck in the lockdown on the occasion of Durgapujo. State Chairman Siddharth Bhandari said the rate of car purchases from potential buyers was around 20% in September. 35% in October. That is, the plan has been implemented more.
