GURUGRAM : Thirty-one days, 9,377 cars. This festive season, India’s used-car buyers went bigger, more automatic and more fuel-conscious. Between the first day of Navratri on October 11 and November 10 this year, Spinny, India’s leading used-car platform, delivered 9,377 cars – an average of over 300 a day, and 39% more than in the same festive period last year.
The season also showed how car choices are changing. SUVs, automatics and CNG cars all grew faster than overall deliveries, and more families chose an electric car than in any previous festive season. SUVs grew 81%, more than twice as fast as overall deliveries, while automatics grew 52% and CNG cars 48%.
Electric Vehicles (EV) also found a place in festive garages, with 29 EVs going home with Spinny customers this season. Tata models accounted for 20 of them, led by the Nexon EV, Tiago EV and Punch EV, alongside the MG Comet EV.

This festive season showed buyers asking more of a pre-owned car: more space, easier driving and lower running costs. Spinny aims to meet that with clear information about each car, a price customers can understand and a handover on the day they choose. For 9,377 buyers, the next road starts here – and it goes further.
