CMV360 Says

The drop in electric bus sales in November 2024 is concerning, especially with such a sharp decline compared to October. It shows there might be some challenges in the market, like changes in demand or supply issues. While Tata Motors is still doing well, the major drop for other brands suggests that more work is needed to keep the momentum going. Manufacturers will need to find ways to fix these issues and build more confidence in the market.
