In comparison to the 5,784 units sold in January 2022, the passenger car segment sold 7,506 units last month, a 29.8% increase.

Additionally, sales of commercial vehicles increased by 46.8% year over year to 21,993 units from 14,981 units.

Last month, sales of light commercial vehicles peaked at 16,757 units, followed by those of Asian utility vehicles at 4,587 units.

The preceding month saw the sale of 370 units of light trucks, 235 units of trucks and buses in categories IV and V, and 44 units of buses.
