Nikhil Dhaka, Vice President, Primus Partners, highlights that the auto retail sector’s January performance signals a market in transition. While year-on-year growth is positive, it's driven by strategic purchases rather than organic demand. Urban markets are becoming dominant, and consumers are adjusting to new financial realities. The commercial vehicle sector faces challenges due to infrastructure and financing issues. He emphasizes that the industry's future depends on balancing inventory with demand, with the coming months testing its adaptability.
