August Auto Production Falls: PV Production Down 4.1%
In August, fewer cars were made in India.
Production went down by about 4%.
This happened because car companies sent fewer cars to dealerships.
People were waiting to buy cars because they thought the government might lower taxes, making cars cheaper.
Car sales dropped by nearly 9% because of this, causing too many cars to sit in dealerships.
However, car companies exported many cars.
Companies feel the small SUV will get the most benefit.
Passenger vehicle (PV) production fell 4.1% in August.
PV sales declined by 8.8% in August.
Passenger car segment saw a 7.9% drop.
Utility vehicle sales fell by 1.8%.
PV exports grew by 24.6%.
