Year 2017 marked a significant move
for auto sales, aided by the continued growth in the Auto sector by the sales figures
of Dec 2017. The primary reason for the growth
on Y-o-Y basis was the effects of demonetization on Dec 2016.
India’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India Limited clocked a
10.3% jump in sales for Dec driven by demand for its vans and compact cars. The
car maker sold a little over 1.3 lakh units v/s to 1.17 lakh in the same
month a year ago, as per the company’s exchange filing. Total domestic sales
rose 12.1% to 1.19 lakh units while export sales fell 6.2% to 10,780 units.
Mahindra & Mahindra Limited’s (M&M) sales grew 8% percent to 39,200 vehicles in Dec
2017, led by strong demand for its commercial vehicles.
In the 2-wheeler segment, TVS Motors Limited reported a significant
growth of 35% in total sales, in which exports surged to 55% during
the period, whereas Eicher Motors Limited, reported 17% growth led
by spike in demand for its two-wheelers, aided by stellar growth
in their exports.
Bajaj Auto sales
grew by 30% in December on Y-o-Y basis, on account of strong exports. Sale
of commercial vehicles rose 187% to 63,785 units compared to that a year ago. Sale
of motorcycles also grew 13%. Motorcycle sales within India grew only 6% while
