Maruti Suzuki sales drop by 4.4 per cent

Maruti Suzuki sold 90,924 cars in December 2013. The company had made sales of 95,145 cars in the same month last year. This shows a fall of 4.4 per cent in sales.

The domestic sales figures, however, see a hike of 5.5 per cent as 86,613 units were sold in December 2013. For the same period in 2012, 82,073 cars were sold. Exports for the month of December came down to 4,311 units this year from 13,072 units seen last year.

Maruti Suzuki shares also dipped with the fall in the sales figures for the month of December in 2013. With the economic slowdown still having its effect on the automobile market, the car sales are not expected to grow quickly in the coming months. Nevertheless, we hope the situation changes and the car sales improve in the near future.
