Thoughts About The MG Hector October Sales Report
MG is sure on a roll with 700 units delivered in one day during Diwali and now creating a record for highest sales in a month. The festive season has surely brought some relief to the auto manufacturers. The brands in the industry went through tough times from past few months due to the auto slow down.
However, we can see the sales of the four-wheelers being picked up in the country. We sure hope that this festive momentum carries and help auto manufacturer to tackle the ongoing recession.
