Car Sales April 2019: Japanese multinational automobile conglomerate Honda Cars India Limited (HCIL) posted a massive jump in its sales figures in India with monthly domestic sales of 11,272 units for the month of April 2019 registering a growth of 23 per cent against the sale of units in the same month last year. “HCIL’s April sales growth is primarily due to lower base effect, as there was no Amaze in corresponding month last year during model runout. The ongoing elections and overall subdued market sentiment continues to affect the sales momentum,” said Rajesh Goel, Senior Vice President and Director, Sales and Marketing, HCIL. The company also said that it has exported a total of 220 units in April, 2019.
“Going forward, the industry is heading towards a tougher year impacting sales due to volatility in fuel prices, increase in car prices owing to new regulations and stricter inventory control for smooth switch over to BS6 regime by year end,” Goel added further. The carmaker had registered monthly domestic sales of 17,202 units in March 2019, as compared to 13,574 units in the corresponding month last year, registering a growth of 27 per cent.
