Commenting on Q3 sales data, Mr Kenichi Ayukawa, President, SIAM said, “Amidst the rising infection spread, Indian Automobile Industry is taking all necessary precautions in line with the government guidelines. As in the past, Industry continues to stand with the government to support the country wherever possible. Quarter-3 sales including those of the festive season were not as per expectations. All segments are still behind by many years. Industry is working hard to maximize production and minimize the impact of supply constraints while ensuring safety of people in the entire value chain.

SIAM is thankful to the Government for rolling out various PLI schemes for the industry including that for Auto & Auto Components, Advanced Chemistry Cell and the recently announced scheme for semi-conductor manufacturing. Industry is looking forward to leverage the benefits of these schemes for increasing localisation and exports.”

Commenting on Q3 sales data, Mr Rajesh Menon, Director General, SIAM said, “Demand of Passenger Vehicle Segment was largely affected due to supply constraints while the Two- Wheeler segment was majorly impacted due to subdued demand. Sales of Passenger Vehicles in Q3 has been the lowest in 5 years, while for the Two-Wheelers it has been the lowest in 9 years. Only the Heavy Goods segment in Commercial Vehicles have shown positive growth compared to Q3 of previous two years. Sales of Buses and Three-Wheelers continue to be a concern. Barring 2020, the Sales of Commercial vehicles in Q3 has been lowest in last 5 years and sales of Three-Wheelers, barring 2020, has been the lowest in last 13 years.”
