ON OCTOBER 8, THE DAY OF Dussehra, luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz India claimed it had sold 200-plus cars — 125-plus on Dussehra in Mumbai and 74 during Navratri in Gujarat. Tata Motors is offering benefits of up to Rs 150,000 on models such as the Nexon, Hexa, Tiago, Tiago NRG, Tigor and the recently launched Harrier. The Mahindra Group has launched a special edition of the Bolero called the Bolero Power+ this Diwali season. The group claims the Bolero is the largest selling utility vehicle in India (since its launch in August 2000) with the highest car park of almost 12 lakh happy owners. Maruti, Hyundai and other carmakers are also doing their bit to attract customers and boost sales in this festive season.
The industry is pinning its hopes on the festival season for robust growth in sales, despite rising concerns about a consumption slowdown.
