SIAM President SIAM Vinod Aggarwal said it is a good sign for the industry that exports have started doing well.
"I think that's a very good sign that exports seem to have bottomed out, especially in the commercial vehicle segment... we have started seeing the growth from the first quarter this year," he noted.
Till last year, there was a huge drop in the export volume of trucks and buses, he added.
"But Q1 has been good even for two-wheelers and passenger vehicles. We are very positive that exports have started to recover," Aggarwal said.
Automobile exports from India had declined 5.5% in FY24 due to the monetary crisis in various overseas markets.
Overall exports stood at more than 45 lakh units in the last fiscal year as compared with 47.61 lakh units in FY23.
