Car sales in April have posted a marginal increase over the previous month despite industry fears of negative trend in car sales after March.
Toyota led the sales charts by posting a 49 per cent growth over April last year followed by Mahindra at 29 per cent. Maruti Suzuki registered a moderate growth of 3.4 percent over last April. However, total passenger car sales dipped by 1.3 per cent over last year. Tata Motors faced a 5 per cent dip over last year sales.
The April '12 sales figures were imperative from the industry point of view. Though overall passenger car sales dipped, the market performed better than expectations. This means that the industry can go ahead with expansion plans hoping the sales to regain the growth story.
