-Luxury car sales have decelerated. With the stock market remaining volatile through most of last year and liquidity pressure growing, reluctant buyers stayed away from new purchases or upgrades, leading to 5% growth in volumes in 2018 against a 17% surge in the previous year. Luxury car makers like Mercedes-Benz and Audi are a worried lot, especially as the liquidity crunch is impacting operations of many of their customers. “A large number of our buyers are from the SME sector. When they cannot even procure working capital comfortably, how can we expect them to buy new cars?” one leading luxury dealer said.

-Martin Schwenk, newlyappointed MD & CEO of Mercedes India, said there is nervousness in the market. “I am here since last two months, and I have met our dealers, investors and customers. Honestly, I saw a lot of hesitation based on the overall economic development… (the) hesitation is based on volatility in markets, and the credit situation specifically.”

-Rahil Ansari, the head of Audi in India, feels that the pain may be there for some more time. “Luxury car purchase is not the biggest necessity that people have currently.” Ansari attributed Audi’s poor showing to the closure of two dealerships in the Delhi-NCR region after the promoter was found to be indulging in unlawful activities.

-Rohit Suri, MD of JLR India, said the second half of 2018 was particularly tough due to tight liquidity condition, higher upfront insurance costs and increased lending rates. A low-key third quarter (July-September) impacted the industry as demand was tight on weaker rupee and high fuel prices. Ravi G Bhatia, India president for global automotive data and consultancy firm JATO, said he expects growth to be difficult in the short term. “The segment is weighed down by the burden of excessive duty and lack of aggressiveness from stakeholders to grow the market. We need strong local strategies.”

 Just as Nirale is about to close his garage for the day, a customer walks in and admires a parked Ford GPW. Inquiring about the price, he is taken aback at the quote. "Why is it so expensive?" he asks. "Nut, nut par Ford likha hai, miyan (Everything is original-even the nuts and bolts have the Ford 'F' emblazoned on them)," replies Nirale.

-Audi's sales in India crashed by over 30% in 2016 as the company lost its second ranking in the luxury market to fellow German compatriot BMW , which staged a revival on a 14% growth. Mercedes Benz, however, maintained its top billing in the category.
-−
-Slide for Audi continued in the first quarter (JanuaryMarch) of this year as numbers slipped by 22% year-on-year. Its volumes fell to 2,131units as against 2,738 units in the same period last year, sources told.
-−
-When contacted, Rahil Ansari, head of Audi in India, refused to confirm the numbers, but conceded that 2016 “was a challenging year“.
-−
-“Although 2016 was a chal lenging year in general for the industry , we utilized this period to consolidate our business in India,“ Ansari said, adding that, “We do not discuss our sales data in media. However, we can confirm that we had a good start to the year (2017). We are ahead of our planned targets and expect to close the year with double-digit growth.“
-−
-Ansari took charge of Audi's Indian unit in February 2016, succeeding Joe King, who was moved back to the company's headquarters in Germany .“We want to be at the top spot as we belong there. We do not have to do it overnight but in a sustainable manner -when we reach the top, we will stay there,“ Ansari said.
-Sources said the slide in Audi's volumes was being seen as “worrisome“ by the company's management, considering that it was top luxury carmaker in India just two years back.
-−
-BMW, on the other hand, has been making a slow progress towards getting its mojo back in India. Once a strong force, the company had lost its drive over the past few ye ars. It made a comeback in 2016 -although on a small base -giving it a reason to cheer.
-−
-BMW's revival was led by Frank Schloeder, who was the acting president of the India operations last year. “2016 has not been an easy year for the automotive industry and that applies equally to BMW Group India... Despite a challenging business environment, BMW Group India has increased sales and market share,“ Schloeder, now posted out of India, said on the company's performance.
-−
-Ansari said India is a “small but strategic market“. “There are short-term constraints like high taxes and duties but the GST regime seems to offer a simpler approach with fewer layers, which will probably make easier to do business.“

	“In 2015-16, the demand was largely concentrated in metros as smaller cities were contributing only in single digits to our business. Today, 25% of our business is coming from tier-1 and -2 cities,” Sharad Agarwal, head of Lamborghini in India, told TOI, adding that the trend has become more pronounced after the company drove in its first full-bodied vehicle, the Urus SUV. Lamborghini has completed the sale of 300 units in India since it began business in the country, and the last100 came in the previous two years against the seven years it originally took to crack the three-figure mark.		“In 2015-16, the demand was largely concentrated in metros as smaller cities were contributing only in single digits to our business.
