Maruti Suzuki Loses Market Share
Having said that, we must also consider the fact that the extended waiting period for Maruti Suzuki automobiles is discouraging customers. Furthermore, the corporation is up against intense competition from Tata Motors, which had its greatest ever passenger vehicle (PV) sales in January 2022, with a 51 percent YoY increase.
In terms of domestic sales, Maruti Suzuki India’s total PV sales this month were 128,924 units, down 7.2 percent from the 139,002 units sold in January 2021. Total domestic sales, which include PV and LCV sales as well as sales to other manufacturers (Toyota), were 136,442 units. The firm reported an 8% YoY decrease in car sales compared to the 148,307 vehicles sold in the same month in 2021. However, export figures remained the silver lining for Maruti Suzuki India in January 2022, despite the fact that the company was facing a black cloud situation. Last month, the automaker shipped 17,937 automobiles from India, up 44% over the 12,445 vehicles exported in January 2021.
