Car dealerships across India are facing a massive inventory crisis, with over 790,000 unsold cars valued at Rs 79,000 crore currently sitting in stock. This inventory level, equivalent to 80-85 days’ worth of sales, has reached an all-time high, challenging dealers of most major car brands. Contributing factors include rising car prices, inflation, and consumers’ preference for new models, which have all affected sales. Despite the festive season, dealerships saw no major boost in sales, with recent data from FADA showing a September sales drop of -18.81%. If this trend continues, dealerships could face serious cash flow issues.
