Total dispatches last month were up at 21,41,208 units from 20,93,286 units in September 2022.
In the September quarter, overall sales rose to 61,16,091 units from 60,52,739 units in the second quarter of 2022-23.
Passenger vehicle dispatches rose marginally to 10,74,189 units in the second quarter from 10,26,309 units in the July-September period of last fiscal.
Commercial vehicles dispatches rose to 2,47,929 units from 2,31,991 units in the year-ago period. Total three-wheeler wholesales rose to 1,95,215 units in the second quarter as compared with 1,20,319 units in the same period last fiscal.
Total two-wheeler dispatches however declined to 45,98,442 units in July-September 2023 as against 46,73,931 units in the year-ago period.
SIAM President Vinod Aggarwal said passenger vehicles, three-wheelers, and commercial vehicle segments continued to witness growth in the second quarter of 2023-24, although two-wheeler wholesale numbers posted a marginal de-growth, compared to the same period of last year.
“As we get into the festival season, all segments of the industry are optimistic and look towards posting good numbers in Q3 as well,” he added.
This growth in the automobile sectors can be attributed to the all-round economic growth of the country, which is also enabled through conducive government policies, Aggarwal said.
