Auto Industry Sales Performance of January 2022
Commenting on January 2022 sales data, Mr. Rajesh Menon, Director General, SIAM said, “Sales in the month of January 2022 again declined compared to January 2021, due to both Omicron related concerns and Semi-conductor shortages. There is clearly a demand issue for Two-Wheelers due to lower rural off-take of entry-level models. Three-Wheelers continue to be severely affected due to lower sales. On the other hand, the Passenger vehicle segment is unable to meet the market demand due to supply side challenges resulting sales in January 2022 being even lower than January 2021.”
