Currently, India exports around 14.6% of the PVs produced here and 16.34% of two- wheelers manufactured between January and November.
Car and sports utility vehicle (SUV) sales in India fell by 49.59 per cent to 1,05,617 units from the year earlier in June, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) on Tuesday said, as the coronavirus pandemic-induced lockdown kept the buyers from making big investments, putting more pressure on the sector.
A total of 2,09,522 units were sold during the same month last year, data showed. Automobile sales in India are counted as factory dispatches and not retail sales.
