Car sales to grow to 9% in India in 2014

 Car sales in India will be back on track and grow up to 9 per cent in the current year with manufacturers introducing new models to expand market share, marketing information services company JD Power has said.

Improvement in buying sentiment post general elections would also lift car sales.

“Growth will be back this year. We expect the Indian passenger car market including utility vehicles and small LCVs (up to 5 tonnes) to grow in the range of 6-9 per cent in 2014,” JD Power Executive Director Mohit Arora said.
