Passenger vehicle wholesales in India declined by 10% to 2,61,633 units last month as compared to March this year, as Covid-led restrictions across various states impacted demand, auto industry body SIAM said on Wednesday. Passenger vehicle sales in March 2021 stood at 2,90,939 units.

“As expected, the Covid wave has impacted the sales of vehicles in April. Sales of passenger vehicles fell by about 10.07%, compared to March 2021, due to various restrictions in states which have been experiencing a surge in Covid cases,” SIAM Director General Rajesh Menon said. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
