Indian auto industry records 6.81% growth in FY2017, PVs cross 3m sales for the very first time.

In FY2016-17, the PV industry notched sales of 3,046,727 units, recording year-on-year (YoY) growth of 9.23 percent and its best performance since the past five years

For the fiscal year, the passenger car segment sold a total of 2,102,996 units (+3.85%) but what helped the overall PV industry achieve the 3-million milestone has been the sharp growth in SUV sales at 761,997 units (+29.91%), what with demand for compact SUVs going through the roof. Demand for vans, though, was muted with sales of 181,734 units (+2.37%).

The biggest contributor to PV sales was, of course, Maruti Suzuki India with 1,443,641 units (+10.59%). Of that number, a good 1,095,891 or 24 percent were utility vehicles. The country’s largest carmaker now has a 47.38 percent market share in PVs and a 52.11 share in passenger cars.

No 2 player Hyundai Motor India, which has a 17 percent market share, sold a total of 509,705 (+5.24%). It is followed by Mahindra & Mahindra with a 7.75 percent market share for its 236,130 units (.07%) sold in 2016-17. At No. 4 is Tata Motors with 172,504 units (+15.45%) and a PV market share of 5.66 percent, followed by Honda Cars India with sales of 157,313 units (-18%) for a market share of 5.16 percent.

Well Well! GTI was supposed to fly off the shelves the whole 99 in no time right? There were even media reports that all 99 had been lapped up even before general public got a chance to book one. Wonder what those media outlets would have to say now!

Fortuner sells almost as many as Figo which is like 4 segments down! Talk about brand Value
Also kudos to Creta and Innova. Creta specifically because that is one car which has seen huge jump in sales even when it was selling well last financial year without any face-lift.

PS:
There seems to be some issues with sales figures of Ameo. It sold only 1641 units?
