The November auto sales numbers do not reflect a buoyant mood and are weaker than the estimates. This phenomenon is seen across all segments. Zee Business’ Kushal Gupta brings this report.
The mood in the sales numbers is tardy and this is across all segments of vehicles, Gupta said. The biggest disappointment has been from the Commercial Vehicles (CV) segment. However, the Passenger Vehicles (PV) segment has outperformed this time in comparison.
