The biggest Indian carmaker,
Maruti Suzuki sales drop by more than 10 percent in the last month due to the
fire accident at the vendor’s Subros facility. The manufacturing facility is
the biggest supplier of Maruti Suzuki and it is the major hub for providing the
air condition systems. The carmaker had seven best-selling models in the top 10
passenger vehicles in May but, it received a drop in June 2016 in the domestic market.
Maruti Suzuki has been sold a
total of 92,133 units in the last month but, it has witnessed the positive result
in the well accepted UV segment. Being a biggest carmaker, Maruti sales in the utility
vehicle segment increased by 75.5 percent to the overall sales of 9,708 units. Maruti
Suzuki’s utility vehicle segment models like Vitara Brezza, Ertiga, Gypsy and
S-Cross have more demand in the Indian auto market. Especially, the Vitara
Brezza is the entry level compact SUV from the largest carmaker and the model has
received the long waiting period due to lack of the production.
In the passenger vehicle segment,
Maruti Suzuki sales drop by 16.3 percent to 72,551 units compared to the same
period in the last year. Sales of Maruti Suzuki small cars, Wagon R and Alto, drop
by 19.3 percent to 27,712 units. With the models like Swift hatchback, Ritz,
Celerio hatchback, Baleno and Swift Dzire, the compact car segment of Maruti Suzuki
has a drop by 12.5 percent to a total of 39,971 units.
The Ciaz hybrid cars have more
demand, even though the mid-sized sedan segment reported 2,800 units of sales
and a drop of 24.3 percent against the year-ago period. The company does not
yet reveal the clear sales of each and every product in the Maruti Suzuki
range.
It is clear that the new Vitara
Brezza and S-Cross models help the company to report the maximum growth in the
UV segment. The upcoming cars, Ignis and Baleno RS, will increase the market
share of the Indian carmaker in the PV market in the coming months.
