He said, “The strong performance was largely driven by robust demand in the two-wheeler and passenger vehicle segments, which continue to remain the key contributors to overall retail growth in the region.”
“The commercial vehicle segment’s positive momentum indicates improving business activity and transportation demand across Jammu & Kashmir, particularly with ongoing infrastructure development and logistics movement,” he said.
Aggarwal said that Looking ahead to March’26, dealer sentiment remains largely positive.
“Demand is expected to be supported by the confluence of multiple festivals such as Navratri, Ramzan and Eid, along with the financial year-end buying cycle, which traditionally accelerates vehicle purchases across segments,” he added.
