Auto Industry Anticipates Festival Boost Following GST Cuts
The government reduced taxes on cars and two-wheelers.
Car companies lowered prices as a result.
This happened just before the big festival season.
People often buy big things like cars during festivals and when farmers harvest their crops.
These factors could cause sales to increase.
The fourth quarter of the year (October-December) is a key time for car and motorcycle sales.
Searches for car prices increased after the tax cut announcement, suggesting consumers are considering purchases.
GST rate reductions on vehicles have led to price cuts by companies.
The auto industry hopes to capitalize on the upcoming festival season.
Sales growth in both two-wheelers and four-wheelers had slowed.
