India LV Sales

June 2021

The Indian market showed resilience in April in the face of the skyrocketing number of COVID-19 infections and the collapsing medical system. One explanation for this is that many OEMs have been fulfilling backorders. Light Vehicle (LV) sales stood at 315k units this April, compared to zero volume in April 2020. Sales contracted by 14% from the previous month and fell by 11% from the monthly average in Q1 2021.
