Automobile and two-wheeler dealers in the city are gearing up to
deliver around 6,500 vehicles on Ashadhi Bij (Rath Yatra day) on
Tuesday.
This is almost 20% more than the number of vehicles — both
two-wheelers and four-wheelers — delivered on the auspicious day last
year.
Vehicle dealers in the city said there is nothing surprising in this as, traditionally, customers have preferred to take delivery on Ashadhi Bij as it is considered auspicious for this purpose.
President of Ahmedabad Automobile Dealers Association, Anil Sanghvi, said that, last year, around 4,250 two-wheelers and 1,250 four-wheelers were handed over to customers on Rath Yatra day in the city.
“This year, we expect to deliver more than 5,000 two-wheelers and around 1,500 four-wheelers,” he said. “Compared to last year, sales and delivery on Ashadhi Bij have gone up this year.”
Two-wheeler dealers expect deliveries to double on Rath Yatra day. Jayesh Pandit, CEO of the two-wheeler division at Manan Autolink, said, “We are expecting an almost 100% rise in demand for two-wheelers on Ashadhi Bij. Our target this year is to deliver 600 bikes on that single day.”
The Petal
Group says it expects sales to increase by 15% on Tuesday. “As compared
to last year, we are expecting a rise of almost 15% in sales and
delivery on Rath Yatra day,” said Sukhbir Bagga, CEO at Petal Group.
“We would be delivering around 90 Hyundai cars, 200 Suzuki motorbikes and 70 Yamaha bikes onTuesday.”
Manish Khatav, regional manager, Bajaj Auto Ltd, said, “The festive season and changing customer tastes are the reasons for the rise in sales. On Rath Yatra eve, we would be delivering around 500 bikes in Ahmedabad alone.”
The used-car sector in Ahmedabad is equally upbeat about sales on auspicious Ashadhi Bij. Dealers expect to sell more than 200 used cars on Tuesday.
“On Rath Yatra day, we are expecting a rise in business of almost 25% over last year,” said a used-car broker, Tejas Shah of Krishna Motors.
