Honda Cars India reported sales of 8,726 units in November, 2016 against 14,832 units during the same time last year resulting in a contraction of 41.2%.
- Domestic Sales stood at 8,029 units against 14,712 units
- Exports stood at 697 units against 120 units
Commenting on the sales performance, Mr. Yoichiro Ueno, President and CEO, Honda Cars India Ltd. said:
The November month saw major disruptions in the market due to the on-going effects of demonetization and cash crunch. The consumer sentiment was low and footfalls and enquirers at the dealerships also slowed down during the month. We have taken several constructive steps to neutralize the impact of demonetization, which includes squeezing the wholesale to avoid the stock piling up at the dealerships. We believe that the situation will normalize in the near future and our sales performance will improve accordingly
Launching the New Brio, Honda Cars India (HCIL) is also looking to rake in revenue from its components export of around Rs 1,675 crore. HCIL supplies different engine parts, forgings and transmissions along with others to Honda, produced at its Tapukara plant in Rajasthan.
