Disclaimer:1- The above numbers do not have figures from AP, AN, MP, LD & TS as all these States/UT’s are not yet on Vahan 4.2- Vehicle Registration Data has been collated as on 07.08.20 and in collaboration with Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India and has been gathered from 1,235 out of 1,445 RTOs.

1. Tractors was the only category which showed YoY growth in July 2020. It grew a impressive 37.2% in July’20 v/s July’19. It was backed by good monsoons and better yield this year. Companies like Sonalika posted their all time highest domestic sales growth (WS) in July 2020. Even Mahindra Tractors recorded a growth of 28% YoY (WS).

2. Three Wheelers recorded the steepest YoY degrowth of -74.3%. With cities under incessant lockdown; the sale of three wheelers have impacted heavily and the sales fall seems inevitable now.

3. Even CVs too registered >70% YoY degrowth. The segment has taken a huge beating in Covid19 era and both trucks/buses sales have come down drastically.
