Maruti Suzuki Manesar Strike Triggers 13% Drop
Maruti Suzuki builds the A-Star, Swift and SX4 in Manesar. Production at Manesar has been severely affected after the company found several quality issues in production. Production is going on at a snails pace currently after the carmaker employed more than 200 new employees after very few workers signed its good conduct bond.
Here is model wise break up of sales. Car under the mini category, the Maruti 800, Alto, A-Star and Wagon R posted a sales decline of 18.3 per cent at 37,496 units. Compact hatchbacks such as the Swift, Zen Estillo and the Ritz posted a more severe sales decline of 26.9 per cent at 16,043 units. This comes as a surprise considering the new Swift had received more bookings before its launch than any other car in India.
Among Maruti Suzuki's sedans, Sales of the Swift DZire fell 6.8 per cent to 7,856 units. The SX4 executive sedan saw its sales decline by 7.6 per cent to 2,048 units. The carmaker sold 8 units of the imported Kizashi premium sedan.
