Auto industry facing many crises
FADA President Vinkesh Gulati said, “A comparison of April, 2019 and April, 2022 shows that we are not yet fully recovered, as overall retail sales have declined by six per cent.” He said that the Russo-Ukraine war is on and China is also under lockdown due to which the auto industry is facing supply problems, semiconductor shortage, high metal prices as well as shortage of containers.
