The automobile sector is one of the most important part of the Indian economy which is third-largest in Asia, employing millions of people directly or indirectly and contributing more than 7 percent to the nation’s gross domestic product. The decline in auto sales started from last year Diwali.

This fall has forced the companies to lay-off contract workers, temporary helpers and dealership to shut showrooms.

On August 23, The government announced several measures to increase auto sales, which included clarity about vehicles before the new emission standards, deferral of revision of one-time registration fee till June 2020 and lifting a freeze on government departments, urging them to buy new vehicles.

Although these measures will boost sentiment in the near term, the automakers need more support in order to revive the sales.

Guenter Butschek, chief executive officer and managing director at Tata Motors Ltd., last week said while some of the government’s incentives have addressed issues such as liquidity, its effectiveness is yet to be felt as consumers have postponed buying hoping for a GST rate cut on cars.
“We need clarity from the government now,” Butschek told. If the auto slowdown lasts longer, the industry will be forced to compromise on the future growth, he said.

Recently, Managing Director of Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), Pawan Goenka commented on the situation of poor auto sales leading to thousands job said that next fear is of suppliers and dealers going bankrupt if the this continues and the upcoming festival season turns out to be slow in terms of demands.
