TL;DR
Indian car buyers are encountering low stock and uneven inventory during the festive season, impacting purchasing decisions despite available discounts.
As India gears up for the festive season, prospective car buyers are encountering an unexpected challenge: low stock levels across various dealerships. While attractive discounts are available, the uneven distribution of vehicle inventory is posing a bigger problem than pricing for many consumers.
Reports indicate significant variations in stock availability among major automakers. Maruti Suzuki, for instance, is reportedly facing shortages with approximately 16 days of inventory, while Hyundai maintains a healthier supply of four to five weeks. This disparity suggests that model-specific deals and immediate delivery options will vary widely, potentially impacting festive season sales for certain brands and models.
