However, even as demand across every segment is rising, OEMs are facing severe supply constraints because of the shortage of semiconductors.
Retail in the two-wheeler segment saw a 6.66% rise while three-wheeler retail sales increased 79.70%. PV retails rose by 38.71%, while commercial vehicle retail sales recorded the maximum increase at 97.94% to 53,150 units retailed in August 2021 over 26,851 units sold in the same month of the previous year.
