FADA February 2019 Vehicle Registration Data

​

Commenting on the February numbers, F A D A President, Mr Ashish Harsharaj Kale said, “After a month of spike in PV sales in January which was largely due to year end stock clearance getting extended and Few New Launches which generated some excitement, the Industry is once again witnessing downward trend as February turned out to be one of the slowest month for Auto Retails during this financial year. Indian Auto Sales are experiencing a Prolonged Slowdown as its already seen 6 months of Slowing Sales and growth reversal and Positive triggers in the near term appear Few.

Starting with the Huge hike in Insurance costs in September, we have seen a lot of negative factors come together in the past few months, leading to major postponement in purchase decisions and overall weakening of Consumer sentiment.

Auto Dealers across the length and breadth of the Country are in a High stock Situation across all Categories and Inventory levels of Passenger Vehicles and Commercial Vehicles, which had seen partial correction in the past 2 months are now back to the unsustainable levels seen in November 2018.

FADA has been highlighting the High Level of Inventory amongst the 2W Dealers and would like to Express Serious Concern that it has now reached Alarming Proportions and in some geographies has breached the unheard level of 100 days of stock as per todays retail situation.”

Commenting Further FADA President said, “FADA believes, as does the entire Auto Industry that the dip in demand is temporary and India will continue to be amongst the Fastest Growing Auto Markets in the World. Having said that, navigating smoothly out of the current slowdown is the need and the entire Auto ecosystem, including dealers, will have to and already are in a cost regulation mode, till the Industry returns to Vibrancy.”

Already facing a substantial increase in operational costs in recent times due to various factors as well as increased working capital needs and that too in a Tight Liquidity Environment, Prolonged maintenance of such High Inventory and its additional costs is unsustainable and with demand continuing to be a challenge, Dealers would be urgently looking to reduce their inventory in the months of March and April

Given the Current Environment F A D A urges Our OEMs to take a realistic stock of the Current Retail Situation and Recalibrate their production to regulate Dealer Invoicing in these 2 months to facilitate return to Stock Normalcy for Dealerships to maintain a sustainable business environment till the industry again hits the High Growth Trajectory.

I think there is overcapacity in the 2 wheeler manufacturing base. There is more than sufficient penetration of the 2-wheeler in even the remotest parts of the country to warrant the current situation. I see it somewhat akin to the smartphone market, (in some cases smartphones are actually costlier, but that's another story). India should quickly get into a regime of controlling the type of vehicles sold, especially in the large cities, which are completely saturated in terms of vehicle ownership.

Second straight month of decline. Tractor, trucks and two wheelers also down. These are sure signs of something.

Maybe due to the BSIV & Electric/Hybrid Revolution set to happen in 2020

Haha no one actually knows about these baring auto enthusiasts. There is a slow down in the economy new insurance policy accelerated it plus high rates of tax and weakening rupee made prices sky high.

Now maruti has decided to cut production by 26%.
Some people may still say it's due to ola and all but the fact is economy is in so much trouble that even maruti is finding difficulties to survive.
