India auto wholesales hit record August high in 2026, PV sales jump 36.5 pc

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Indias automobile wholesales across passenger vehicles (PVs), three-wheelers (3Ws) and two-wheelers (2Ws) reached their highest-ever levels for the month of August in 2026, aided by a favourable demand environment and a lower base in the year-ago period, according to data released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) on Tuesday. Passenger vehicle sales stood at 4,39,309 units in August 2026, registering a strong 36.5 per cent year-on-year growth. Three-wheeler wholesales increased 22.8 per cent to 93,764 units, while two-wheeler sales rose 10.5 per cent to 20,34,698 units during the month. Indias automobile industry is passing through a robust growth phase. The growth in August 2026 has been supported by a lower base from the previous year, said Rajesh Menon, Director General, SIAM. Menon said the broader demand environment remained fundamentally healthy, with strong consumer confidence, resilient rural markets and improving financing conditions supporting automobile demand across categories. He also pointed to the accelerating adoption of alternative drivetrains as another factor contributing to a favourable ecosystem for the industry. Festive demand is also expected to provide an additional boost, resulting in healthy Q2 numbers, Menon added. According to SIAM data, total production of passenger vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers and quadricycles stood at 31,57,822 units in August 2026. Meanwhile, in the previous month, India's automobile industry recorded its strongest-ever July sales performance with passenger vehicle, two-wheeler and three-wheeler dispatches posting robust double-digit growth. According to the SIAM data, domestic passenger vehicle dispatches from manufacturers to dealers rose 34.3 per cent year-on-year to 4,57,810 units in July compared with 3,40,772 units in the same month last year. Meanwhile, two-wheeler sales increased 22.6 per cent to 19,23,483 units last month from 15,69,120 units a year earlier, while three-wheeler dispatches also registered strong growth and rose 33.4 per cent to 92,560 units against 69,403 units in July 2025.

Congress BRICS 'rift': Udit Raj calls for results, not automatic opposition

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) Congress leader Udit Raj on Friday questioned the practical usefulness of the BRICS summit and called upon the Centre to clearly explain the economic and strategic benefits India has derived from such international platforms. Amid differing views within the Congress on the BRICS event, Udit Raj, on party colleague Shashi Tharoors praise for India hosting the summit, said that being in the Opposition does not mean criticising the government on every issue, but an event should be praised only if it delivers tangible benefits to the country. On the contrasting positions of former Union Minister P Chidambaram and Tharoor, Raj told IANS that it should not be viewed as a contradiction within the party. While Tharoor described hosting BRICS as a prestigious opportunity, Chidambaram, as an economist, questioned the actual economic benefits. Hosting the summit is rotational, and prestige alone is not enough, he noted. Citing the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Udit Raj argued that major events prove beneficial only when they deliver lasting gains to tourism and the economy. Speaking to IANS, Raj said international conferences like BRICS may be important, yet the government must spell out concrete outcomes. Did they increase FDI (foreign direct investment), attract foreign investment, or prevent the exit of foreign institutional investors from the stock market? Merely discussing GDP figures or hosting major events does not benefit the public, he remarked. He also questioned the ground-level gains from previous conferences, including the G20, and asked what real economic returns India received in exchange for its financial contribution to BRICS. Udit Raj further targeted the governments foreign policy, stating that issues concerning Indian students and skilled workers abroad, as well as Indias global image, need stronger attention. Referring to recent tensions with Pakistan, he said India must secure broad diplomatic support on international platforms during times of crisis. The usefulness of BRICS, he added, should be assessed by the extent of such support. He claimed Indias tourism sector has not received the desired boost. On womens reservation, he recalled that the Bill was passed in 2023, but its implementation was linked to delimitation. The Congress had supported early enforcement and accused the BJP of creating a false impression about the partys stand. Regarding the Hindi controversy in Kerala, Udit Raj backed the state governments objection, saying forced imposition of a language could hurt regional sentiments. Languages and identities of southern states must be respected, he emphasised. On Prime Minister Narendra Modis gift of a book to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Raj said such gestures are symbolic in diplomacy. The real test of foreign policy, he stressed, lies in the actual outcomes of meetings and agreements rather than photographs or symbolic gifts.
