Large impact on sales in the auto sector due to lockdowns and restrictions in the states
Corona's second wave has had a huge negative impact on passenger car sales. The recovery that followed the first wave last year was washed away by May this year. The second wave of Corona across India started in March and according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), passenger car sales at that time were 1.57 lakh vehicles. That compares with 41,536 cars sold in May, down 73.54% from three months ago.

Demand has been hit hard in the second wave,
SIAM Director General Rajesh Mann said, adding that many states had imposed lockdowns since the start of the second wave in India. In addition, different types of restrictions were imposed in many states, affecting both car production and sales. Due to the lockdown, many dealerships were closed and demand from the people fell sharply, leading to a 10% drop in sales between March and April and a 70.58% drop between April and May.
Companies have resumed limited operations
Rajesh Mann said the lockdown is opening in phases and markets in the states are slowly opening up. A quick vaccination drive will help control the impact of corona in India. This will enable business activity to be managed steadily and sales are also expected to improve gradually.

Hoping for a quick recovery as the monsoon started on time,
Vinkesh Gulati said the 9 days of June saw better-than-expected sales after the states unlocked due to the demand in the system when the lockdown was implemented. If this trend continues, sales are likely to be similar compared to June last year. The arrival of monsoon in India has been timely. If the meteorological department's forecast is taken into account, normal and even rainfall can provide early relief to the rural economy and lead to rapid demand. In this case the recovery rate may improve.
