Cars24 delivers 750 cars on first day of Navratri, up 58% year on year
Our read
Cars24 will more likely than not keep festive volumes well above normal into Diwali, with first-time, loan-funded and rural buyers driving growth, though 11 October will probably stay its peak day.
For operators
Cars24 delivered 750 cars on 11 October, the first day of Navratri, up 58% year on year and five times a usual Sunday, so dealers and used-car retailers should plan festive stock and delivery capacity around Maruti Suzuki, which made up over 40% of sales.
Watch
Daily deliveries above the 750 of 11 October through the end of Navratri would mean festive demand is broad, not a one-day spike, and rivals face a wider volume gap.
The report
Cars24 delivered 750 cars on 11 October, the first day of Navratri, up 58 per cent year on year and five times its usual Sunday volume. Seven in 10 buyers were first-time buyers, and over 40 per cent of sales were linked to rural RTOs.
