New launches in early 2025 may spell trouble for inventory glut

A number of car brands have announced new product introductions totaling over 12 slated for launch in the early part of 2025. These models are powered by a mix of electric motors and petrol engines.

November wholesale volumes (sales from manufacturers to dealers) announced on Sunday, grew 5% year-on-year to nearly 352,000 units on the back of two consecutive months of below 1% y-o-y growth.

Though dealers have complained of elevated levels of inventory throughout the festive season, automakers have not taken any corrective measures to bring down the stock levels.
