Hyundai India has registered
a growth of 7.98% in sales for the month of December. The South Korean car maker had sold 59,391 units in December 2014 and this time, the sales
figure rose to 64,135 units. While the overall growth in this month was
impressive, growth in the domestic market was, even more, spectacular
as the automaker was able to sell 41,861 units last month as compared to
32,504 units in December 2014. This increase in number accounted for
28.78% growth.
The response in the international market was,
however, not so encouraging as the car maker observed a decline in sales
for December. The number of units exported was reduced to 22,274 units
from 26,887 in December last year. The decrease can be partially
attributed to the fact that the magnificent response invoked by the
Creta in the Indian market and domestic growth with 28.78% led the
company to focus more on domestic market which help in a growth.
Speaking on the occasion,
Hyundai India’s senior Vice-President (Sales and Marketing), Rakesh
Srivastava, said that the surge in December was driven by “strong
performance of Grand i10, Elite i20 and Creta.”
The hike in sales comes at a
time when Hyundai recently reported record bookings for the year 2015.
The South Korean automaker sold 4.76 lac units outdoing the annual
target of 4.65 lac units. The announcement in early December by the car maker that the prices of its model will be hiked from January also
increased the figures as those who did not want to spend extra cash
bought cars in 2015. It seems like the automaker will be happy with the
encouraging response with 28.78% in the domestic market, more at a time
when the global response has not been so motivating.
