Truck rentals hold steady in March: Shriram Mobility Bulletin

New Delhi, Apr 8 (UNI) Truck rentals remained steady in March 2025, following a dip in February, said monthly mobility bulletin released by Shriram Mobility on Tuesday.
"Despite stable rental rates, the sector remains under pressure with increased toll charges implemented from April 1, 2025," it said.
The monthly report said that truck operators bemoan excise duty increase which does not pass on lower crude prices to pumps. They, however, expect the tyre prices to drop.
Among key freight routes, Delhi–Bengaluru–Delhi registered the highest rental hike at 5% month-on-month (MoM), followed by Delhi–Mumbai–Delhi at 1.3% and Delhi-Hyderabad-Delhi at 1.1%, the report said.
"Alternatively, the Delhi–Chennai–Delhi route registered the steepest fall at -5.2% MoM and Delhi-Kolkata-Delhi rentals dropping by 1.3%," it said.
As per the mobility bulletin, vehicle sales witnessed a bounce back in March driven by events such as Chaitra Navratri, Gudi Padwa, and Eid.
Y S Chakravarti, CEO and Managing Director, Shriram Finance Ltd said, "Industry is cautiously optimistic for new vehicle sales in April as the benefits of lower income tax for the new fiscal coupled with local festivals like Tamil New Year, Vishu, Akshaya Tritiya may prop up demand."
