Lack of demand for passenger
vehicles in the country has forced India's largest manufacturer, Maruti
Suzuki to cut its production for the 8th consecutive month. The
company's total vehicle production last month stood at 1,19,337 units
against 1,50,497 in October last year.
The production of
passenger vehicles was down 117,383 units from 148,318 in October last
year, while Van produced slipped nearly by half from 13,817 in October
2018 to 7,661 last month. The manufacturing of vehicles in the
mini-segment came down to 20,985 last month from 34,295 in the
corresponding month last year. The segment has models such as Alto,
S-Presso, Old WagonR, the company said in regulatory filing on Friday.
In the compact segment, which consists of models like New WagonR, Celerio, Ignis, Swift, Baleno, OEM Model, Dzire, the number of units produced last month was 64,079 from 74,167 in the corresponding month last year.
Only utility vehicles like Gypsy, Vitara Brezza, Ertiga, XL-6, S-Cross saw a slight growth at 22,736 in October from 22,526.
However,
in terms of sale, the company did show signs of recovery owing to the
festival season demand. Maruti sold a total of 1,44,277 units (inclusive
of OEM sales) during October 2019 in the domestic market recording a
4.5 per cent growth over the same month a year ago.
While it
witnessed decline in sales of mini cars such as Alto and S-Presso, the
compact segment including New WagonR, Celerio, Ignis, Swift, Baleno and
Dzire posted a growth of 16 per cent year-on-year.
