Speaking on the occasion, Hardeep Singh Brar, Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing, Kia India said, 'We are glad to post healthy sales figures throughout this year due to improved customer sentiment and pent-up demand. The commencement of the third shift at our state-of-the-art Anantapur Plant earlier this year and the gradually improving supply chain has also helped us streamline the delivery period and meet our customers' expectations. However, we will remain observant of dynamic market conditions. With an improved market sentiment and pent-up demand, Kia India has already sold 2,39,372 cars in India in the first 11 months with one full month still to go. Notably, the company had sold a total of 1,81,583 cars in CY2021.”
