<p>He observed that shipments increased in September as the merchants got ready for the holiday season, which begins in earnest on October 14.</p>
<p>Due to numerous events that enhance the sale of cars, there was also a strong demand last month in the western and southern states, according to Srivastava.</p>
<p>He said, “Better availability of cars as a result of stabilizing chip supplies” is another factor.</p>

<p>“And it is the first time that industry passenger vehicle sales have exceeded the 30-lakh unit mark in the nine months leading up to September, which means that we are on track to reach 40-lakh unit mark both for the financial year and the calendar year,” he said.</p>
<p>According to Srivastava, the industry’s 20 lakh unit sales threshold was broken in the months of April through September for the first time ever.</p>
