Mercedes-Benz and plenty of other manufacturers are unanimous in their opinion that demand will pick up once the lockdown lifts. Santosh says, “This is not an economic impact. This is a demand-side shock if you see because a lot of our customers will definitely feel this is the right time to buy a car.” He shared with us his thoughts on the future of the car industry:

1. New products will excite the market, there is nothing better than new products to excite.

2. The demand in China and Korea is back, and business is back to normal.

3. A lot of people will introspect in the lockdown and conclude that they should allow themselves to indulge. It could be a good thing for luxury goods.

4. Our online portal for used cars has been getting bookings even in the lockdown.
