The first of the Indian automakers' domestic market sales numbers for March 2015 and the fiscal year 2014-2015 have just come in. If Toyota Kirloskar Motor's (TKM) numbers are anything to go by, then most of the big players should be posting good to decent growth for the year.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor has announced that it has sold a total of 13,333 cars in the domestic market in March 2015, posting 62.48 percent growth year on year (March 2014: 8,206). For the fiscal year 2014-15, as per SIAM sales data, the carmaker has delivered a total of 141,887 units, marking a growth of 10.15 percent (FY2013-14: 128,811).
March 2015 is the fifth consecutive month that the company has clocked double-digit growth 9see detaiiled sales table below).
According to N Raja, director and senior vice-president (Sales and Marketing), “With the launch of the new Corolla Altis, Etios , Etios Liva and Etios Cross in 2014 and new Innova and Fortuner in 2015, we saw an increased acceptance from customers which continues to grow month after month. The Corolla Altis, Innova and Fortuner continue to maintain leadership position in their respective segments. The Innova brand completed a successful journey of 10 years last month. Toyota is committed to safety and we are proud of the fact that TKM is the first manufacturer in India to standardise front dual SRS airbags across all models and in all grades. The additional safety and comfort features across our new models has been well received across markets.”
