Maruti Suzuki car sales fall in July ahead of new Ciaz launch

Automakers in India consider dispatches to dealerships as sales. Maruti Suzuki has reported a fall after several months of robust demand for its wide range of cars.

Owing to a planned reduction in volumes of its mid-sized sedan Ciaz and a high base, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd on Wednesday reported a marginal fall in domestic car sales to 136,636 units in July from 137,584 units in the year-ago period.

The new Maruti Suzuki Ciaz will launch on 20 August.

These figures do not include sales of Maruti Suzuki’s Omni and Eeco vans, and light commercial vehicle Super Carry.
