NEW DELHI: Maruti Suzuki India Limited--the country’s largest passenger vehicle manufacturer--sold 18,539 units in May having resumed production in a phased manner at two of its units last month after easing of lockdown curbs.
Sales are not comparable on a year-on-year basis as operations were suspended due to the lockdown to contain the spread of covid-19.
But to put in perspective, last year in May the company sold 1,25,552 units. "Maruti Suzuki posted total sales of 18,539 units in May 2020 (including 13,865 units in domestic market and sales of 23 units to other OEM).
The company resumed its manufacturing operations...from May 12th at its Manesar facility and from May 18th at its Gurugram facility," the company said in a statement on
