Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India Ltd on Thursday said it has rolled out the millionth unit of its bestselling hatchback Alto, since its launch in September 2000.

The company produced the millionth unit of Alto last evening at its Gurgaon facility, MSIL said in a statement.

Alto crossed one million-unit production mark in 7.5 years, of which the last 500,000 units were produced in 25 months. The car is India's bestselling hatchback with sales of an average 20,000 units every month.

In November last year, MSIL sold 22,784 units of Alto, which were the highest ever sales for the model in a month since its launch. The company has also exported 150,000 Alto units from its Gurgaon facility.

Alto has become the third model for MSIL to cross the million-unit mark after entry-level Maruti 800 and Omni. The company sells three models of Alto Standard, Alto Lx and Alto Lxi, with the top end Lxi outselling the other two.
