Maruti Suzuki India, the country’s largest carmaker has reported a 40.8% decline in total sales for August at 54,154 units as against 91,442 units in the same month last year. This fall in sales can be attributed to a month-long lockout due to violence at its Manesar plant.
The domestic sales of the company during the month stood at 50,129 units, down by 35% compared to 77,086 units in August last year. The company’s popular compact sedan Dzire was down by 60.7% to 3,085 units during the month, which was hampered by the production constraints. The company’s other best-selling model like Swift, along with Estilo and Ritz, together clocked 6,059 units in August this year, down 62.2% from last year.
Besides, sales of small cars, including the M800, Alto, A-Star and Wagon R, declined by 41.2% to 22,062 units. The sale of the mid-sized sedan SX4 fell by 76.4% to 447 units while the company was unable to sell its luxury sedan Kizashi during the period.
