Hyundai, Hero’s Oct sales at all-time high

10月现代汽车、Hero摩托销量创新高

NEW DELHI: A cracker of a Diwali came home early for the auto industry that reported bumper sales in October, holding out hope that the Covid-induced slowdown may be on the wane.

新德里：排灯节临近，汽车行业10月份销量大捷，给人们带来了新冠肺炎引发的经济放缓可能正在消退的希望。

Hyundai and Hero Moto, India’s two top automakers, reported lifetime-high monthly volumes in wholesale deliveries to dealerships.

印度两大领军制造商现代和Hero Moto报告称，经销商的月销量创历史新高

The passenger vehicles industry has been under severe pressure over the last two years and after an 18% fall in 2019-20, demand was weak even this year.

乘用车行业在过去两年一直承受着巨大的压力，在2019- 2020年下降了18%之后，今年的需求仍然疲软。

But demand has come back, largely led by the generally positive sentiments around Navaratri and Diwali. A section of analysts and industry players, however, said that weak sales during lockdown has resulted in pent-up demand, which is now playing out in the market.

但在围绕九夜节和排灯节的普遍乐观情绪的带动下，需求已经回升。部分分析师和业内人士表示，封锁期间，导致了需求被抑制，这种需求正在市场上获得释放。

Maruti, which accounts for nearly half the passenger vehicles market, recorded sales of over 1.6 lakh units in October, growing 18%, on the back of strong demand for its wide portfolio of hatchbacks and entry-level cars. Maruti chairman RC Bhargava said that demand remained strong so far in the festive period, but warned that there was a need for cautious optimism when it came to predicting demand in the fourth quarter of the current financial year as well as 2021-22.

马鲁蒂占乘用车市场近一半的份额，由于市场对其掀背车和入门级轿车的需求强劲，该公司10月份的销量超过160万辆，同比增长18%。马鲁蒂董事长RC Bhargava表示，到目前为止，节日期间的需求仍然强劲，但他警告称，在预测本财年第四季度以及2021-22财年的需求时，需要谨慎乐观

Hyundai has been going strong with products such as Venue and Creta SUVs, while Tata Motors too has been witnessing a strong resurgence of late.

现代凭借Venue和Creta suv等产品一路走强，塔塔汽车最近也经历了强劲复苏。

“October sales performance has set a positive tone for the overall business environment and we are confident that Hyundai will continue to strongly contribute towards sustainable growth of the economy,” a top company executive said.

一位公司高管表示：“10月份的销售业绩为整体商业环境定下了积极的基调，我们相信现代汽车将继续为经济的可持续增长做出强劲贡献。”

Festive offers and new models have been kee the buyers excited and companies hope that this will keep the numbers ticking even beyond the festive period. Models such as Kia’s Sonet and Mahindra’s Thar have seen strong demand, while new ones that are about to hit the market are Hyundai’s i20 hatch and Maruti’s Celerio.

节日优惠和新车型，让买家感到兴奋，公司希望业绩能持续增长，甚至超过节日期间。起亚的Sonet和马恒达的Thar等车型需求强劲，而现代的i20 hatch和马鲁蒂的Celerio等新车型即将上市。

“The new Thar has set new records within just a month of its launch. For Mahindra, the festive season has started on a positive note… this augurs well for a robust festive demand which in turn will help the industry in the short term,” Veejay Nakra, CEO (Automotive Division) at M&M said.

新款Thar在发布后的一个月内就创造了新记录。M&M汽车部门首席执行官Veejay Nakra说:“ 对马恒达来说，节日季的开始是一个积极的信号……这预示着强劲的节日需求，并在短期内提振整个行业。”

But even as the industry has been registering growth for the past few weeks, companies fear that this may be short-lived and have been making a case for a tax cut. Auto body Siam has said that the government should reduce GST rates from 28% to 18% to bring in higher affordability.

不过，尽管该行业在过去几周实现了增长，但企业担心这可能是短暂的，因此一直在寻求减税。汽车制造商Siam曾表示，印度政府应将消费税税率从28%降至18%，以让更多的消费者能买得起车。
