Top car manufacturers Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Honda and others are looking to make the most of this opportunity. As per these auto companies, they expect sales to increase by 15-20% during the festival season. They have a number of new car launches lined up along with attractive discounts to woo the customers. The new launches on an average have a waiting period of around 8 months for delivery.
