FADA CV Retail Sales Reach 74,324 Units for September 2024

Posted On : 07 October, 2024

FADA Commercial Vehicle Retail Sales Witness a 10.45% Decline in September 2024

The Federation of Automobile Dealers Association (FADA) has released the sales figures for commercial vehicles in September 2024. SML ISUZU LTD recorded a 19.97% increase in sales compared to last year, making it the company with the highest YoY growth for the month.

According to FADA's truck sales report, leading Indian commercial vehicle manufacturers experienced an overall decline in growth. Truck sales dropped to 74,324 units in September 2024, down from 82,993 units in September 2023, marking a 10.45% dip in growth.

Official Statement of FADA:

FADA President, Mr. C S Vigneshwar, shared his insights on the auto retail performance for September 2024, stating, “The 2024 southwest monsoon recorded 8% above-normal rainfall—the highest in four years—which has boosted Kharif sowing by 1.5% YoY. This increase in agricultural productivity has positively impacted rural demand and economic sentiment."  

Despite the onset of festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi and Onam, dealers have reported that the performance has been largely stagnant. This suggests that overall market sentiment during these festive periods has been underwhelming, with a trend leaning towards flat or negative growth.  

The Shraddh period further impacted sales negatively, leading to a YoY decline in retail sales across various categories. Discounts and offers have been introduced across segments to stimulate demand, but these have yet to translate into a significant improvement in sales.  

CV sales increased by 1.46% MoM but declined by 10.45% YoY, reflecting mixed performance. While there was positive sentiment and marginal growth in regions supported by infrastructure projects, overall demand remained weak due to low government spending, extended monsoon delays, and seasonal challenges. Despite some improvement in fleet purchases, the market conditions remain subdued."
