“The passenger vehicle segment, which achieved record sales in FY23, slowed down in April… This was primarily due to last year’s high base and the OBD 2A norms, which led to vehicle price increases and advanced purchases in March,” Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) President Manish Raj Singhania said in a statement.
