There are two different ways to identify the market's biggest losers: by looking at the difference in delivery numbers between 2024 and 2023; and by looking at the percentage decline in sales.

Car sales hit record high in December 2024: details
Festive demand driven by year-end discounts helps boost car sales in December 2024 to record highs The Indian auto market saw sustained growth towards the end of the year after experiencing a slowdown in the first half of 2024. Monthly car sales in December showed an upward trend for three consecutive months, with full-year sales reaching a record high of 4.3 million vehicles. According to reports, vehicle shipments from factories to dealers have increased by 10-12% to 3,20,000-3,25,000 units by the end of 2024.

Market leader Maruti Suzuki contributed to the growth by selling 1,30,115 units in December 2024, up 24.2% year-on-year. The company's retail sales reached 2,52,693 units, its best month ever, with overall vehicle inventory reduced to just 9 days. Also Read: Tata Punch breaks Maruti's 40-year streak…

Goods and services tax on second-hand car sales increased to 18%
The Goods and Services Tax Council (GST Council) has announced an increase in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate on sales of second-hand cars, including electric vehicles (EVs), from 12% to 18%. The decision was taken at a recent meeting chaired by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to work out a uniform tax rate for all categories of vehicles. However, this change will not affect transactions between individuals. Private sales of second-hand cars will remain exempt from GST, providing relief to those dealing in personal vehicles. Under the revised structure, GST will only apply on the supplier's profit - the difference between the purchase price and sale price of the vehicle. If the vehicle is declared depreciated, it will be taxed on the depreciated value. This margin-based approach to taxation is designed to ensure that only the value added during resale is subject to GST, rather than the entire transaction value. Previously, 12% GST was applicable on all second-hand cars,…

In Mexico, German car sales slump on new Chinese immigrants
In Mexico, Chinese cars are seen as a better alternative and sales are rising. Sales of Audi and Mercedes-Benz in Mexico fell by 21.9% and 9.8% respectively. Buyers are switching from luxury sedans to cheaper options as well as electric vehicles. The history of premium cars and how people view them is very interesting and has changed over time. Not long ago, Japanese cars were considered inferior to European cars. However, over time, these brands began to become more recognized, with Lexus being the clearest example of a successful Japanese premium brand. Will the same transformation happen to Chinese cars today? Well, Chinese-made cars are priced out of the U.S. market, and incoming President Donald Trump has promised higher tariffs, which means entering the U.S. will actually become prohibitive unless they're in Establish local factories. However, evidence from the Mexican border may serve as evidence to support this theory. The country's premium market has long been dominated by premium brands…
