ET Graphics | Compact cars gain momentum

Mini car sales saw a significant increase last quarter, doubling after a three-year slump. This surge followed recent Goods and Services Tax rate reductions, making these vehicles more affordable. Entry hatchbacks, under 3.6 meters, experienced a 107% rise in sales year-on-year. Previously, sales had dropped by 62% from their peak due to rising costs. The market now shows renewed demand for these economical vehicles.
