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 To Restrict Car Exports Due To Capacity Constraints

Automobile major Maruti Suzuki would limit its exports for this year as the company is struck with capacity constraints, the company said. Maruti said it would restrict its car exports to the last year’s level.
 
“We are not competing in exports (with other carmakers) … we are short of capacity. This year exports will not go beyond last year”, Maruti Suzuki Chairman R. C. Bhargava was quoted as saying.
 
The highest ever exports of Maruti Suzuki was in the year 2008-09 which was at 1.47 lakh units and the A-star model reached 1.27 lakh units.
 
It is to be noted that in February 2010, the company called back nearly one lakh of its a-star model cars with fuel leakage problems.
 
Maruti Suzuki India Limited is the largest automobile maker in India in terms of volumes sold and revenue earned. A majority of the company’s stake is held by Suzuki Motor Corporation.
 
The major exporting countries for the company include the UK, Indonesia, Uganda, France, Ethiopia, Germany, Italy, Guatemala, Chile and Netherlands.

To address increasing demand for its products, Maruti Suzuki has commenced work to increase capacity at the Manesar plant.

“We have started work at Manesar. But that will take time (to reach full capacity), which would be by 2012″ he told PTI.

In March 2010, the company had announced a Rs 1,700-crore (Rs 17 billion) investment for expanding production by 2,50,000 units at its Manesar plant. Production capacity after the expansion will reach 12.50 lakh (1.25 million) units by 2012.

Bhargava replied in the affirmative when asked whether the company was facing delay in deliveries.

“Almost all our models are in the waiting list . . . I would say the average waiting list is three months for the diesel variant of Swift [ Images ] Dezire.

“We will keep increasing production in whichever way we can primarily to meet customer demand. . .our reasonable target (to meet the demand) is 2012″, he said. Maruti Suzuki sold 10.18 lakh (1.01 million) vehicles in 2008-09 fiscal, the first time in Indian automotive history that a car company has sold over a million units in a financial year.

This included sales of 8,70,000 units in the domestic market, the highest ever by the company in a fiscal.

Asked whether introduction of new models by foreign companies would be a challenge, Bhargava said every carmaker has to introduce new models to address customer needs.

“He (carmaker) should make sure the customer gets something new”. On the growth of the automobile industry, he opined it might grow by 15 per cent.

“Even Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers also said the industry would grow by 12-14 per cent and that is reasonable . . .but we have to look at base effect also”, he said.

Bhargava felt one of the biggest challenges facing the industry is lack of infrastructure.

“I think (lack of) infrastructure is one big problem . . . especially when you look at global developments (in auto-industry)”.

Asked whether the company would phase out Maruti 800 [ Images ], the first small car introduced in 1982, he said, “sometimes, every model has to be stopped . . . Maruti 800 will also end at one stage.

I don’t know when it will happen . . . right now, it is running. . .”, he said. Maruti Suzuki reported a 17.28 per cent jump in sales to 88,091 units in June against 75,109 units in the same month last year.
