In Pics: Which Are The Lowest Selling Cars In India In 2020?

The year 2020 has not been very good to many businesses out there. With the coronavirus pandemic having spread out globally since January of this year itself, most people are under lockdown.

Many countries and cities are still under lockdown and if not, have been advised to limit their outside time as much as possible. People are suggested to only step out of their house for the most important essentials and not for frivolous matters.

With many people and businesses thus working from home, the economy has taken a hit and people are choosing to spend their money on only the basic items and putting the rest in savings.

COVID-19 is not the only cause of this low sale rate of cars, other reasons are the economic slowdown and the recent rule applied to the automotive industry to change to BS-VI emission.

Ashim Sharma, Partner & Group Head, Nomura Research Institute stated in a March report by ET that, “Car sales are very much in-line where the economy is heading. Given no major announcement in the budget to spur demand, automotive is just following the general trend. Auto Expo brought some excitement with a good consumer participation, but all the launches are due in March or later. Consumers might wait for the new products to debut that might lead to some excitement.”
