With the sales figure in July, Ford India has achieved a total vehicle sales of 46,751 units from January 2010.
Commenting on this sales growth, Michael Boneham, President and Managing Director, Ford India said, "We are delighted with our results to date. Sales from January to July 2010 were greater than any annual sales figures reported by Ford India during the past five years."
He acknowledged that the opening of new dealerships across the country has certainly helped Ford widen its network which eventually lead to the growth of sales.
Boneham added, "The Ford Figo is one of the major catalysts behind these terrific total sales numbers. Figo has transformed our business and presence in India and we recently introduced a second production shift to keep up with demand." Since its launch in March, the Figo has been truly embraced by Indian consumers with more than 29,000 sales bookings registered so far.
Ford India is expanding its service and dealer network to provide world-class support to its fast growing customer base. With growth figures like this, Ford sure have a strong foothold in the Indian Market.
