Industry News- Oct 22,24
In FY24, India’s automobile exports declined 5.5%, totalling 45,00,492 units, compared to 47,61,299 units in FY23, due to global financial pressures.
India’s automobile exports surged 14% year-on-year in the first half of the current fiscal year, supported by strong demand for passenger vehicles (PVs) and two-wheelers, according to data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).
Exports for the April-September period reached 25,28,248 units, up from 22,11,457 units in the same period last year. Shailesh Chandra, SIAM, President, attributed the rebound to the recovery of key markets in Latin America and Africa, which had previously slowed due to economic challenges.
Chandra explained that currency devaluation in some African countries had forced these nations to focus on essential imports, impacting vehicle shipments.
