September 2, 2013, New Delhi: Toyota Kirloskar Motor has registered total domestic sales of 12,007 units in August 2013, down 14.21 percent on the 13,995 units sold in August last year. Combined with exports of 3,194 units of the Etios series, total cumulative sales during the month were 15,201 units in August 2013, down 6.31 percent over sales a year ago.
Commenting on the sales in August 2013, Sandeep Singh, deputy managing director and chief operating officer, Marketing and Commercial, said, “With the rupee depreciation and rising inflation, we have increased the prices of the Camry Petrol and Fortuner by one percent. Last month we launched the Camry Hybrid, which is in line with offering advanced technology to our customers and encouraging the use of hybrids in India. The market is still sluggish; however, we hope to see the market improve with good monsoons and the upcoming festive season."
