What to watch
- September and October wholesale sales growth versus vehicle-registration data.
- Dealer inventory days, booking cancellations and waiting-period trends by model.
- Discount levels and financing schemes from Maruti and competing OEMs.
- SUV versus hatchback mix, including performance of CNG and recently refreshed models.
- Rural income, monsoon outcomes, consumer financing rates and festive footfall.
- Export dispatch trends and any supply-chain disruption affecting production.
- Increase production and supplier scheduling for high-demand festive models while managing semiconductor and component availability.
- Prioritize dealer allocations toward fast-turning SUVs, CNG vehicles and high-demand regional markets.
- Use targeted exchange bonuses, financing offers and festival campaigns rather than broad-based discounting to protect pricing.
- Track retail registrations against wholesale dispatches and trim production if dealer stock rises beyond seasonal norms.
- Leverage stronger export volumes to diversify demand and improve factory utilization after the domestic festive season.
