“All vehicle segments posted stable performance in May 2025,” SIAM Director General Rajesh Menon said. “Going forward, the RBI’s three repo rate cuts totalling 100 basis points in less than six months, along with a forecast of above-normal monsoons are some of the indicators which should positively impact the auto sector by improving affordability and boosting consumer sentiment in the coming months,” he added.
