Reuters reports that India’s domestic passenger car sales soared 24.2 per cent in September, according to industry data. The report said that the growth was fuelled by rising incomes and attractive finance schemes.

Sales in April-September, the first half of this business year ending March 2005, rose 20.8 per cent to 385,859 units from 319,450 a year earlier.
