Maruti Suzuki posted its highest ever monthly sales in August 2010

During the month, Maruti Suzuki posted its highest ever monthly sales at 1,04,791 units, a 23.56 per cent increase from 84,808 units in August 2009. The company also posted its best figure so far for the domestic market at 92,674 units, a 32.47 per cent increase from 69,961 units in August 2009.

“With economic activities going strong, consumers’ spending powers have increased. It has helped boosting auto sales,” IDFC Securities Director (Research) Ramnath S told PTI. New models by the companies have also created excitement in the market and many of these have witnessed long-waiting periods for delivery, he added.

Homegrown auto major Tata Motors reported a 45.10 per cent increase in its domestic passenger vehicle sales at 25,196 units compared to 17,364 units in the year-ago month.

Another manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra’s sales in domestic market jumped by 27.39 per cent last month at 27,275 units as against 21,410 units in the same month last year.

Carmaker General Motors India saw its sales climbing 33.71 per cent to 7,941 units in August compared to 5,939 units in the same month last year. Honda Siel Cars’ sales stood at 5,532 units, registering 38.75 per cent jump over 3,987 units in the corresponding month last year.

Another auto maker Toyota Kirloskar Motor reported 26.09 per cent jump in its sales at 6,361 units compared to 5,045 units in the corresponding month last year.

India will overtake China as the world’s fastest-growing major economy as early as 2013 as it adds six times more workers to its labor pool than its northern neighbor, according to Morgan Stanley.

India had eight cars per 1,000 people in 2009, compared with 435 in the U.S., 231 in Russia and 24 in China, according consulting firm Ernst & Young said in February.

Maruti Suzuki July Car Sales Rise 29% on Record India Demand

Maruti Suzuki July Car Sales Rise 29% on Record India Demand

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., maker of half the cars sold in the country, said sales grew 29 percent last month, helped by record local demand.

Maruti sold 100,857 vehicles worldwide in July compared with 78,074 a year earlier, the New Delhi-based Indian unit of Suzuki Motor Corp. said in a statement today. Sales in the domestic market surged 33 percent to a record 90,114 the highest-ever in a month. That beat the previous high of 90,041 units reported in May this year. Exports increased about 2% to 10,743 units.
Sales were boosted by a strong demand for its small cars–Alto, Wagon-R, Estilo, Ritz, Swift and A-Star–which grew 33% to 64,079 units from 48,115 a year earlier, the company said.

Indian auto makers are gaining from a steady rise in the purchasing power of consumers, being aided by economic growth, higher incomes and low-cost loans. These companies are also benefiting from new model launches, especially those in the small-car segment, which are driving more consumers to showrooms.

As many as 11 new cars or refurbished variants have been introduced in India since January this year. Most of the new launches have been in the small-car segment such as the Nissan Micra, Volkswagen Polo, Chevrolet’s Beat and Maruti’s new Wagon-R. Toyota Motor Co. is slated to introduce its small car Etios later this year while Maruti is expected to launch a new variant of its best-selling car, Alto, later this month.

Maruti sales at record high as cars buck usual dip

Maruti sales at record high as cars buck usual dip

Vehicle sales continued to zoom in May as well, with market leader Maruti Suzuki crossing 1,00,000 units in monthly sales for the first time. Two-wheeler leader Hero Honda too had record sales.

Maruti’s total sales were 102,175 units in May. This included 12,134 units of exports. Of this, 90,041 units were sold in the domestic market, up 27.2 per cent over corresponding month last year. This is the highest-ever domestic sales in a month. The previous highest monthly domestic sale was 84,765 units, in February 2010.

The country’s second largest carmaker, Hyundai Motor India, reported an increase of 15.52 per cent in domestic sales for May, at 27,151 units. The company had sold 23,503 units in the domestic market in May 2009, Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) said. Total sales in May increased 7.30 per cent to 46,808 units from 43,624 units in the same month last year.

Hyundai, which is also the country’s largest car exporter, however, saw its exports slide 2.31 per cent in the month. The company sold 19,657 units in overseas markets in May compared with 20,121 units in the year-ago period. Hyundai attributed this to a planned annual maintenance shutdown that pulled down production volumes.

Tata Motors, whose products range from heavy trucks to the ultra-cheap Nano car, said May sales rose 41 per cent. Sales of passenger vehicles in the domestic market from the Tata stable (including 2,163 units from Fiat of whom the Indian major is a distributor) increased 42 per cent to 23,489 units, compared to 16,563 in the year-ago period.

General Motors too reported robust growth in sales in May, with its small car Chevrolet Spark and newly launched hatchback Chevrolet Beat accounting for more than half the cars the company sold. GM sold 8,225 units during the month, an increase of 61 per cent over May 2009.

Utility vehicles and tractor leader Mahindra & Mahindra saw sales jumping 69 per cent from a year earlier. The company’s year-to-date domestic sales stood at 52,075 units, as against 39,198 units in May 2009, an increase of 33 per cent. Exports jumped by 186 per cent.

The total year-to-date utility vehicle sales – with models, including the Scorpio, Xylo, Bolero and pick-ups – stood at 36,938 units, as against 31,067 units in May 2009, a growth of 19 per cent.

Mahindra’s total sales stood at 28,486 units in May 2010, as against 16,866 units in May 2009, a growth of 69 per cent.
