Pune: many customers outside the car showroom in Vimannagar on Thursday, but many of them are disappointed in the fact that both dealers, and manufacturers, offer many things by the way SOPs or discounts – general trends during celebration events, including Ganeshotsav.
“I expect that there will be incentives for customers such as discounts.
But there is nothing like that all this time,” said Chandannagar residents, who wanted a scooter for his wife.
He returned without a vehicle, because of the old waiting period on the choice model.
“There is a good demand from the end of the customer, and we have achieved pre-covid income.
But there is a problem on the supply side.
The main reason is that the production costs have risen, both from material, or shipping costs, or international shipping,” said Shailesh Bhandari from Mrs.
Bhandari Auto, which operates a four-wheeled dealer of four and two.
“The effect of more shortcomings in the four-wheeled market rather than on two wheels.
There are many orders back to be served.
Dealers don’t hold a lot of inventory.
They don’t get a lot from the manufacturer,” said the Federation of Dealer Automobile Associents State Chairman Amar Sheth said.
Manufacturers such as Piaggio and Mercedes-Benz have announced several celebration season offers.
“When the market is open, recovery following the second wave has been good.
We introduce interesting products of this celebration season.
But the challenges of semiconductor deficiency, compounded by Covid Malaysia waves, can act as a Dampener,” said a spokesman for Tata Motors.
