Vehicle sales on Dusherra
Ahmedabad: A sharp 52% surge in vehicle sales on Dussehra failed to offset a sluggish festive season in Gujarat, with combined Navratri-Dussehra retail sales declining 8.2% in 2026 compared with the previous year. Gujarat recorded retail sales of 1.2 lakh two-wheelers and four-wheelers during the festival period, down from 1.3 lakh in 2025, according to data from the Union ministry of road transport and highways. Two-wheeler sales fell 7.4% to 95,599 units, while four-wheeler sales dropped 11% to 25,174 units.
Weak overall sentiment, rainfall, volatility in the stock market and higher interest rates had weighed on demand,” he said. Dealers attributed the fall to weak market sentiment, poor monsoon and higher interest rates, while supply constraints continued to limit passenger vehicle deliveries.
