Pune: Registration of vehicles at the Regional Transportation Office Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad (RTO) in July this year is closer to the number of pre-covid July 2019.
In addition, registration in both RTOS in July defeated the previous month’s figure, showed a healthy recovery , Confirming the trend, an official Pune RTO told toi, “the process of registration of a face without a face, which allows the submission of new documents from new vehicles by the showroom owner, helps in achieving healthy growth.” Vehicle registration in July this year increased by more than 77% of what happened in June at the Pune RTO office, while the July registration at Pimpri Chinchwad RTO increased by 82% against the previous month, data from the RTO office revealed.
“The number of vehicles registered in July this year is 14% lower than the vehicle registered in July last year at Pune RTO’s office.
This difference is only 4% in Pimpri Chinchwad RTO.
If the registration continues like this, the numbers will pass the pre-level level Covid next month, “said other RTO officials.
Shailesh Bhandari, Regional Director of the Federation of Car Dealer Association (FAD) in Pune, recently said while the overall car market took, the sale of two-wheeled vehicles continued to be a concern.
“Many offices and schools, colleges and other institutions are still closed.
Therefore, there is a problem in the two-wheeled market because people do not buy two-wheeled vehicles.
However, the overall market has increased and the registration of faces launched in mid-June has helped,” Bhandari said , A car dealer said the perception of people to buy new vehicles had changed.
“Previously, ordinary people were waiting for special moments, months, festivals, or profitable events, to buy new vehicles.
This trend has changed after a pandemic,” said the dealer.
VK Navrekar, a government employee who recently bought four-wheeled vehicles, said there was no point in waiting now.
“Pandemics have taught us that every positive moment is the right time.
We have planned to buy a car at Ganesh Chaturthi, but alert with the threat of restrictions,” Navrekar, a resident of Kondhwa, said.
