The growth in the value of domestic production and consumption of automotive parts moderated during FY20 to FY23, compared to the preceding five years, as per the latest Economic Survey.
In the first half of the last decade, passenger vehicles, such as cars and utility vehicles, experienced significant growth, it said.
However, the pandemic had a substantial impact on all segments of the automotive industry, it added.
"While passenger vehicles quickly recovered, the recovery period for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and commercial vehicles is longer," it stated.
In FY24, the country produced around 49 lakh passenger vehicles, 9.9 lakh three-wheelers, 214.7 lakh two-wheelers, and 10.7 lakh commercial vehicles, it stated.
