The coronavirus pandemic has hit sales of new vehicles in Nagpur during Dussehra, considered an auspicious time to make new purchases, especially vehicles. This year, only 1,419 vehicles were registered during the nine-day-long Navratri festival as opposed to 1,713 vehicles registered in city and east RTO last year.

Usually, automobile showrooms and even the RTO remain open on Dussehra. But the registration of vehicles in rural Nagpur too witnessed a southward trend. As compared to Navratri 2019 when 1,517 vehicles were registered, this year the rural RTO office registered 1,344 new vehicles.

During festive occasions such as Dussehra and Diwali, the RTO deploys more staff and works overtime to complete the registration of new vehicles. Buyers too prefer deliveries on such auspicious days, resulting in a heavy rush at showrooms across the city.
