Passenger vehicle sales in India rose 11% to and estimated 247,000 units in April, The Economic Times reports.
Growth was led by Maruti Suzuki, whose sales last month jumped more than 16% to 117,000 units. The company’s volume was aided by a fourfold hike in deliveries of small SUVs.
Other big gainers included Hyundai (+10% to 42,400 units), Mahindra & Mahindra (+16% to 22,700) and Renault (+300% to 12,400). ET notes that carmakers remain concerned about the sudden shift in consumer preferences from diesel to gasoline vehicles. Manufacturers tell the Mumbai-based newspaper they are struggling to rebalance their product mix to suit demand.
