However, compared to last year, the sales of diesel cars and LPG cars have decreased. Sales of diesel cars fell by 33.1 percent and LPG cars by 37 percent in the first 5 months of the year. The main reason for this is that the production of diesel cars has almost stopped worldwide and the new models are almost non-existent in the market. Therefore, the price of such car companies has decreased in the country's stock market.
