The company said its domestic sales increased by 0.7 per cent at 56,411 units as against 56,000 units in June last year. It said the A2 segment, comprising Alto, Zen Estillo, Wagon R and Swift registered a marginal growth of 0.3 per cent at 37,767 units, against 37,646 units in the same month last year.
The A3 segment (Swift Dzire and SX4 sedans) sales grew by 36.5 per cent to 8,995 units in January 2010.
Passenger vehicle wholesales saw a marginal growth of 4 per cent in June on account of high base effect and muted demand due to severe heatwave conditions in several parts of the country. Overall passenger vehicle dispatches last month stood at 340,784 units, a growth of 3.67 per cent compared with 328,710 units in June 2023.
Maruti is sticking to this strategy at a time when rival Hyundai is looking to make the most of the monopoly it will have in the compact diesel segment from April 1, 2020, when the BSVI emission norms kick in. The market leader's confidence stems from the rapid shift in favour of petrol in the PV segment. For newer models such as MG Hector and Seltos, nearly 75 per cent bookings are for petrol variants, Kia has 55 per cent from petrol variants. The change in customer preference from diesel variants to petrol has happened quickly over the past few years.
