Toyota Kirloskar Motor sells 9,256 units in January 2016, down 32% YoY

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has reported sales of 8,511 units in the domestic market in January 2016. This number is 32.72 percent down on the 12,650 units sold in January 2015. On the export front too, January sales were little to cheer about for the Japanese carmaker – it shipped 745 units of the units of the Etios series, compared to 1,714 units exported in January 2015.

Commenting on the monthly sales, N Raja, director and senior vice-president, Sales & Marketing, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, “Our monthly sales have been affected. Part of it is a repercussion of the recent ban on registration of diesel vehicles with engine capacity of more than 2000cc in Delhi and NCR. We are looking forward to the Auto Expo where we will exhibit our prowess in the MPV segment and hybrid technology.”

At the Auto Expo, TKM will have an entire zone dedicated to hybrid and alternative fuel technology where the automaker will display Toyota’s cutting- edge innovations in both these fields.

Interestingly, the Camry Hybrid, the first locally manufactured hybrid in India has sold over 1,500 units in the Indian market since its launch in August 2013.
