Maruti Suzuki India Limited, leader in passenger vehicles, sold a total of 348,443 units in the quarter April-June 2016, growing 2.1 % over the same period of last fiscal. This includes 322,340 units in the domestic market, reflecting a growth of 5.4 % over April-June 2015. Export during the quarter ending June 2016 was 26,103 units.
The growth in sales in the quarter is despite the disruption in production during June 2016, due to the unfortunate incident of fire at Subros, a key vendor of the Company. The Company expects to recover the production loss during the course of the year.
The Company sold a total of 98,840 units, in June 2016. This includes 92,133 units in the domestic market and 6,707 units of exports. The Company had sold a total of 114,756 units in June 2015.
The Company together with its employees and vendors is gradually stepping up production of newly launched models Baleno and Brezza to service the pending demand.
