Sales figures also demonstrated an impressive trajectory, with a rise of 20% in total units sold. This growth was particularly evident in urban markets, where the demand for Sazgar’s vehicles, especially the iconic auto-rickshaws, has been on the rise.
Experts suggested that urbanization and the increasing need for affordable, efficient transportation solutions have contributed notably to this upward trend. “We are witnessing a shift in consumer preferences, with more people opting for compact vehicles that can navigate congested city streets,” noted an industry analyst.

However, not all trends were positive. Sazgar faced challenges regarding supply chain disruptions that impacted its inventory levels. Despite the overall increase in production, the company struggled to maintain a sufficient stock to meet the growing demand, leading to longer wait times for customers.
“We are actively working to resolve these supply chain issues,” assured a Sazgar spokesperson. “Our goal is to guarantee that every customer can access our products in a timely manner.”
Furthermore, the company’s attempt to expand its product line met with mixed results. While the introduction of electric vehicles aimed to tap into the eco-conscious market segment, initial sales figures for these models fell short of expectations.
Market research indicated that potential customers remained hesitant due to concerns about charging infrastructure and battery life. A Sazgar executive commented, “We recognize the challenges in the electric vehicle market, and we are committed to addressing these concerns through continued innovation and customer engagement.”
