Other Reasons:

The increase in dispatches from manufacturers to their dealers comes on the back of improvement in semiconductor shortage issues and also preparation to meet festive season demand. “While a good monsoon and the upcoming festive season is likely to increase demand, SIAM is keeping a close watch on the dynamic supply-side challenges,” SIAM Director General Rajesh Menon said in a statement. However, he said high CNG price is a big challenge for the industry and is looking forward to interventions and support from the government.
