Limited mobility impacts segment
The Covid 19 pandemic has severely affected domestic sales in the three-wheeler auto segment. According to data released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), domestic sales for three-wheelers are almost at a two-decade low. Sales in 2020-2021 were below the domestic sales in the 2002-2003. Experts suggest that Covid 19, and consequent lockdowns impacted micro-mobility of people creating a negative impact on the rickshaw industry, which is the largest customer segment in this space.
The three-wheeler segment is made of two categories: the passenger segment and the cargo segment. The decline in overall numbers is largely due to a decline in sales in passenger vehicle segment. According to global analytics company, Crisil, 82 per cent of the sales in this segment are in passenger vehicles while 9 per cent are in the cargo segment.
