Rural PV sales grew 35.09% year-on-year, outpacing urban growth of 24.67%. However, compared with May, rural PV sales declined 0.11%, while urban sales increased 3.54%, indicating a temporary monsoon-related slowdown in rural demand.

Tractor retail sales stood at 1,00,818 units, rising 25.31% annually and 21.33% over May, making it the second-best June on record, supported by pre-Kharif farm activity.
