2014 Auto Expo ends with hope for boost in automobile sales

Greater Noida, Feb 12 (ANI): The curtains came down on the 12th edition of Auto Expo in Greater Noida with the hope that positivity around the show will spark a revival in demand after a prolonged slump in sales. Automobile giants resorted to different strategies and tactics in order to lure consumers, offered discount packages to boost sales. Car sales fell to 160,289 vehicles last month, as consumers kept a tight lid on spending, hurt by high interest rates and fuel costs in a slowing economy. Sales of passenger vehicles, which include cars and utility vehicles, fell 9.3 percent in January. The Deputy Director General of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), Sugato Sen said the taxes imposed on the automobiles resulted in decline of sales in the passenger car segment.
