India auto dealers flag inventory, financing costs as risks to demand Nov 6 (Reuters) - Indian auto dealers warned that elevated vehicle inventories and rising financing costs could weigh on demand after the festive season, even as they remained optimistic that strong retail activity in the coming weeks would help reduce stock levels.
