Car sales in India grew by just 2.2 per cent in 2011-12 , the slowest in two years but industry body Siam said it expects the growth to be around 10-12 per cent in the ongoing fiscal on better macro economic prospects.

Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers that in January had cautioned that car sales growth in India could be in negative territory, said a late surge of sales, specially in March had helped it to stay positive in 2011-12 .

According to the latest figures issued by Siam, total car sales in India in 2011-12 stood at 20,16,115 units as against 19,72,845 units in the previous fiscal, up 2.2 per cent.
