Sakarwala Capital Securities reported that buyers rushed to purchase vehicles before the announcement of the new federal budget. Consumers purchased vehicles early to avoid expected tax increases.

Key Drivers of Industry Growth

Sakarwala Capital Securities identified several factors behind this growth.

  • High purchasing power among wealthy buyers
  • Improved auto financing options due to lower interest rates
  • The launch of new vehicle models
  • Lower inflation rates

In contrast, farm tractor sales fell by 1.4% during the fiscal year. Industry sources stated that low agricultural yields limited the buying power of farmers.
