Maharashtra recorded sales of 112,000 vehicles over the Navratri period, with Pune emerging as the top-selling city.
Maharashtra’s automobile dealers reported a combined sale of 112,000 vehicles during the Navratri festive window, according to data cited by Mid-Day. The figure reflects the heightened buying activity that typically accompanies the nine‑day celebration.
Among the state’s districts, Pune registered the highest number of vehicle registrations, outpacing other urban centres. While exact city‑wise numbers were not disclosed, Pune’s position underscores its status as a major automotive market in western India.
Industry analysts note that the Navratri period often sees a surge in demand for both two‑wheelers and four‑wheelers, driven by festive gifting and favourable financing schemes. The latest sales tally adds to a broader trend of robust vehicle demand across Maharashtra this year.
