Car Industry - August 2012
Key Highlights:
Maruti's volume was hit very hard, due to the workers issue at Manesar plant. This episode resulted in lowest ever cumulative sales in the past 2 years. Alto, Wagon R, Ertiga, Eeco and Omni being made in Gurgaon facility, has not been affected. Alto and Wagor R has secured the top positions. After all these turmoils, Maruti still is in 1st postion.
Hyundai fills the 2nd position. I guess, some of the Verna magic is rubbing off on Elantra too. Combined with snazzy look, super interiors and low pricing strategy has made Elantra the leader in D1 segment. Verna and I20 has grabbed the opportunity that came their way, the manesar issue has came as a boon for them. When the rest of the industry was limping, the Hyundai was running!
Tata takes back 3rd position from Mahindra. The hatch backs (Indica and Nano) has done the magic. The Bolero, Scorpio and XUV 500 is leading their respective segments. Mahindras "Cheetah" (XUV 500) sells 4000 units for the 2nd month in a row, which is really amazing!
Toyota Innova and Fortuner had an excellent August. But the sedan and hatch back is reaching no were! There is nothing much to cheer about at Ford, except for Figos that makes its cash register rings.
Followed by Chevrolet, for which Beat (Diesel) heatens up the scene. The facelifted Cruze has gone un noticed!
The ace player of Indian automotive market is Maruti.Its Alto and Wagon R has touched the mark of 10000 which is impossible for other top companies.
