NEW DELHI: Passenger cars sales skidded for the second month in a row this fiscal in the domestic market, witnessing a 10.6 percent decline in July at 63,084 units against 70,606 units in July last year. According to figures released by SIAM, two-wheelers sales also saw a decline in July 2005, dropping down by 2.5 percent to 4,83,090 units (4,95,456 units). This was primarily due to a 35 percent fall in sale of scooters even as motorcycle sales grew 5.7 percent to 3,99,779 units. Car sales had seen a marginal 0.89 percent decline in June this fiscal at 64464 units, SIAM said.
