Passenger Vehicle Sales Decline 0.19% MoM, Buyers Await New Launches - FADA

PV Sales Surge in April: The passenger vehicle sales in April 2025 saw a positive momentum compared to last year's period. According to the Federation of Automotive Dealers Association, the passenger vehicle segment recorded a marginal growth of 1.55 per cent on a year-on-year basis, but saw a slight decline of 0.19 per cent on a month-on-month basis. FADA stated that the discounts on vehicles were a key factor, however, the demand for the entry-level segment continued to remain sluggish in April 2025.

“Despite limited model introductions, the PV segment registered a 1.55% YoY increase alongside a marginal 0.19% MoM decline. This performance reflects a discount-led market and elevated inventories — approximately a 50-day supply—amid cautious consumer sentiment that tempered enquiry-to-sale conversions,” Mr C S Vigneshwar, FADA President, said.
