Registration of motor cars saw a mixed fluctuation over last six months while recording 8469 new registrations in June. Hybrid motor cars saw a 52% CAGR in new vehicle registrations in last four years proving the growing demand for the same over petrol cars. However with import duty changes through interim budget 2015 coupled with decline in fuel prices, hybrid vehicle registration witnessed a decline since Feb 2015 while petrol car registrations demonstrated a considerable growth over last six months due to increase in demand for small cars (<1000 cc). Sector also witnessed a growth in Indian vehicles relative to Japanese brands in the recent past due to affordability.
