Sales Numbers Indicate Turnaround, A Slow One Though
Car sales in India grew by 15.16% in August, 2014 as compared to sales in the same period last year. As per the data released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), a total of 1, 53, 758 units were sold in the domestic market in August; the number was 1, 33, 513 units last year.
Maruti Suzuki India, Hyundai and Honda Motor are the top three car manufacturers in India. All three recorded a double digit growth in August 2014 as against August 2013. Maruti Suzuki had maximum domestic monthly sales i.e. 82, 823 units, which is up by 30% against the sales for same period last year. The car models that contributed the most to Maruti's growth include Swift, Dzire, Celerio and Ertiga.
The second biggest car manufacturer, Hyundai Motor India, sold 33,593 units in August 2014, registering a growth of 19% over sales in same month last year. Honda Cars India's growth rate for August 2014 was 27% as compared to the sales registered in the same period last year.
These numbers surely hint at Indian automobile industry turnaround, albeit at a slower pace. Mr. Vishnu Mathur, SIAM Director General validates the same: "The auto industry is seeing a gradual increase and even the cumulative numbers are seeing improvements month-on-month. We can see a slow turnaround happening."
With slow but prominent growth, Regional Dealer Development Manager becomes the need of the hour and promises more job opportunities.
