“From 24th March to April, the sale in the city was zero. The business picked up pace only from May,” said an automobile dealer. “In May, the sale had dipped by 80 percent but with the relaxations, the drop rate has decreased to 23.10 per cent. Since the unlock guidelines came in place, the sale of all modes of vehicles have increased except tractors.




We are witnessing a boost in the sale of vehicles every month. It is also interesting to see, that due to absence of public transport, people have started buying cars. In August, the car sale increased as compared to last year,” said a member of Automobile Association. A total of 10, 629 cars were sold this year in August, while it was 10, 376 last year.

This is the highest this year sale after January. Further, the automobile vendors and dealers said, the sales especially cars, motor bike and three wheelers will increase by end of October and November during the festivals. “It is good for automobile industry but the increase in the sale especially cars and bike will lead to pollution in the national capital,” said a transport official.
