Hyundai Motor India, the second largest carmaker in India after Maruti Suzuki India and the country’s largest passenger car exporter, has registered domestic sales of 33,514 units, which translates into growth of 9.49 percent (June 2013: 30,610).
However, its exports are facing rough weather given that it saw a near 30 percent drop in June 2014 with despatches of 17,004 units (June 2013: 24,055).
Commenting on the June sales, Rakesh Srivastava, senior VP (Sales and Marketing), said, “Hyundai with a volume of 33,514 units has grown by 9.5 percent over last year on the phenomenal success of the Xcent, Grand and Santa Fe. With the extension of excise duty benefit, we hope to maintain the growth in volume while strengthening our product portfolio and improving channel efficiencies.”
