The decline in sales is mainly due to the ban on registration of diesel vehicles with engine capacity of more than 2000cc in Delhi & NCR where Toyota is significantly present apart from the floods in Chennai and car buyers postponing their purchases to the new year.
As for the calendar year, the carmaker sold a total of 139,815 units in 2015, registering a cumulative growth of 5% YoY (2014: 132,673 units).
