Toyota Kirloskar Motor sells 12,404 units in July, up 3%

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has announced that it has sold a total of 12,404 units in the domestic market last monthly, registering 3% year-on-year growth (July 2015: 12,070).

The prime driver of the company’s sales is the recently launched Innova Crysta, which has bookings of over 20,000 units and a waiting period of up to 2 months at different locations across the country. TKM says the Camry too has seen a YoY sales growth in July, with more than 90% of its sales attributed to the Camry Hybrid.

TKM is among the carmakers which have been adversely affected by the ban on over 2000cc diesel-engined vehicles in the Delhi-NCR region.

Commenting on the monthly sales, N Raja, director and senior vice-president (Sales & Marketing), Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, “Although the new Innova Crysta has been doing well, the ban on registration of diesel vehicles has stalled the extent of our growth. We respect the Supreme Court’s judgment regarding cleaning the bad air quality around us. We would fully support the authorities for creating a better environment for our future generations. We are confident that honorable court will consider our submissions during the next hearing and hope the matter is amicably resolved at the earliest.”
