What is the Real Reason For Growth in Sales?

The current sales trends can be cited to the  

1. The ongoing festive season
2. Customers that postponed buying a car due to the lockdown
3. Many loan or financing options,
4. Orders that were placed before the lockdown but couldn’t be dispatched, 
5. A good monsoon season leaves the customer with excess income, 
6. Customers staying outside of metros and big cities making purchases, and
7. Demand for small cars.

In July, small car segment was seen gaining fame as people settled for inexpensive cars due to financial instability coupled with easy mobility.

Tata Tiago seemed to have gained more popularity than many other well-established models. It also outsold Maruti Swift, a popular model, by a thin margin. For Tata Motors, the popularity of Tiago is likely to have increased even more in August 2020. 

The company’s newest launch, Tata Altroz hatch has become the company’s third-best seller. 

Meanwhile, the launch of Kia Sonet, Mahindra Thar, Renault Duster will pose a challenge for Tata Nexon.
