Let’s take a closer look at June sales as well as segment-wise performance. In CY2022, total vehicle retails were 2,11,20,441 units, which means halfway into CY2023, cumulative retails are 53% ofall of last year. India Auto Inc retails had surpassed the 2 million-mark in two months of the year to date – March 2023 (20,41,847 units) and May 2023 (20,19,414 units).

June 2023 retails, which are a shade above January 2023’s 18,26,669 units, reflect the slow growth of the two-wheeler segment which have dragged overall numbers. While the 18,63,868 units sold across five vehicle segments – two- and three-wheelers, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and tractors – constitute 9.57% year-on-year growth (June 2022: 17,01,105 units), month-on-month retails are down 7.7% (May 2023: 20,19,414 units) as depicted in the sales data table below.
