The Indian automotive industry, which is the fastest growing market in India is badly battered by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown that was imposed in the last week of March. While lockdown meant no sales too place for almost 2 months, easing lockdown has not helped the industry either.
People are worried about visiting the dealerships and buying cars. Also, most of the new car buyers are working from home, resulting in a delay of buying process.
