Toyota Kirloskar Motor has announced its domestic market sales for the month of March 2017. At 13,796 units, the carmaker has registered 81 percent year-on-year growth (March 2016: 7,637 units).
The company also says it has posted a 12 percent growth in sales in FY2016-17. While it has not provided total fiscal numbers, considering it sold 128,494 units in FY2015-16 (-9%), its sales for the just-concluded FY2016-17 will be around 143,913 units.
This growth can be attributed to the overwhelming response the Innova Crysta has received. In just less than a year, the Crysta has sold close to 75,000 units in India. The Camry Hybrid too has been seeing growing sales, reinforcing customer acceptance towards hybrid technology. In the April 2016-February 2017 period, the Camry Hybrid has sold 1,146 units.
Commenting on the monthly sales, N Raja, director and senior VP (Sales & Marketing), Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “Both the new Fortuner and Innova Crysta have attributed to this growth. In just five months, the new Fortuner has been able to clock more than 10,300 units which further reiterates its popularity amongst our customers.
“The Platinum Etios and the new Liva Dual Tone have also contributed to our monthly sales growth. We also launched the new Corolla Altis this month and are confident that our customers will appreciate it.”
