 The last two months, November and October have helped the automobile industry a lot as compared to 2019. These are the months of the festive season and Indians bring new appliances and products on the eve of the festival, so the manufacturers also give discounts as per their convenience. Talking about today's topic, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is doing very well in the Indian car market with the start from Accent and Santro, then i10 and i20, then came these most popular products ever- Verna, Creta, Venue, nios, and aura. Big vehicles such as Tuscon and SantaFe did not make so much fan-base just like the Fortuner and Endeavour did. In my studies, this is too of sales in a month as Suzuki sells Alto and Celerio in good numbers like 15-18 thousand, and including other cars they may be selling 30-40 cars in a month. (ESTD) Out of total of 68,835 units                                                                                                                               

 Toyota Kirloskar Motors sold over 12373 cars in last month (October), 8116 in November 2020. This festive season might have helped the industry to achieve this growth in sales. Out 12373, 11866 units were sold in the Indian market and 744 units of Etios were exported. Mr. Naveen Soni, Sr. Vice President said that 'This festive month of October has been our best month since March 2020'. As the report shows below that there is slow growth in the sales and it is maximum in the month of October and the second maximum in the month of November. That is, 50% of growth in every month with most of sales coming from bigger vehicles, Innova Crysta and Fortuner respectively. The copycat Glanza also performed very well over the period of these few months, and the newly launched Urban Cruiser also helped the company and is believed to take proper growth in the future.
