Cars and the Indian Diwali festive season share a deep connection. Historically, Indians buy loads of new things during this auspicious 90-day festive season. Generally, September to November are considered the three months when numerous festivals arrive each year. As per Hindu traditions, there are no fixed dates for festivals like Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali, etc. That is why this time frame is widely considered as the festive season. The automobile industry observes a massive boom in sales during this time. Apart from vehicles, people also buy electronic appliances as e-commerce giants offer massive discounts. Let us take a look at the car sales during this season this year.
