Business Desk: Hyundai’s Navratri Surge: 11K Cars Fly Off Lots!
Festive energy lit up India’s auto scene as buyers rushed showrooms. Hyundai Motor India smashed records by selling around 11,000 cars on Navratri’s opening day, Monday. It’s the highest single-day tally in five years, catching everyone off guard with its sheer scale.
A Five-Year Peak in Dealer Action
Dealers logged a whopping 11,000 billings in that frenzy, fueled by holiday cheer and smart policy tweaks. This isn’t just numbers; it’s a snapshot of pent-up demand breaking free in the market. Hyundai’s lineup clearly struck the right chord with eager customers.
Executive Insights on the Momentum
Tarun Garg, whole-time director and COO at Hyundai Motor India Limited, called it a promising start. He credited the upbeat vibe to GST 2.0 reforms, saying they created a solid positive shift. “This tops our single-day results over the past five years,” Garg added, highlighting the brand’s strong pull.
Broader Push Across the Sector
Major carmakers, including Hyundai, pledged to fully pass on GST cut perks to buyers. To keep the sales fire burning, they’re rolling out extras like:
- Deeper discounts on popular models
- Limited-edition vehicles with festive flair
- Tailored financing deals for quick closes
This strategy aims to ride the wave longer, turning seasonal buzz into lasting gains. With the festival just underway, eyes are on whether the streak holds.
