Last month, most cars on sale in India saw an upward price revision. Has that affected the sale figures of car manufacturers in the Indian automotive market? Find that out below.
Half a calendar year has passed by and the Indian car market is fairly populated with new launches. Manufacturers are introducing newer and exclusive variants of their cars and some are offering brand new products, which seem to have worked in their favour.
In contradiction, the prices of steel have been at an all-time high which in turn have compelled some manufacturers to increase the prices on a few of their products.
Following is the four-wheeler sales report for the month of July 2021, which will give us an idea of how auto-manufacturers have faired:
