The country’s largest auto maker Maruti Suzuki registered a marginal increase of 1.6 per cent at 1,02,626 units. This is a marginal growth as compared to June 2014, when the company sold 5,41,594 units.
Domestic sales of Yamaha for June 2015 stood at 51,432 units as against 40,666 units sold in June 2014, which is a 26% increase.
TKM said sales were low as the company’s production was limited due to planned annual maintenance between May 29 and June 6. Its new products such as GenX Nano, Bolt and Zest continued to attract buyers.

In what can be termed as positive news for the commercial vehicle segment, growth is gradually filtering down from the M&HCV market (which has seen continuous growth for the past 10 months) to the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment. Overall, Tata’s sales totaled 12,046 units for June 2015, up 9.52% (June 2014: 10,999).
