The paper said that Maruti achieved its highest-ever domestic sales – led by the new A-Star model – and exports in any single month, while Hyundai recorded a 45.3% growth in domestic sales. M&M saw its growth at 21.6%.
Growth has been fuelled by a number of factors including an increase in liquidity after the stimulus packages, cuts in interest rates and excise, as well a softening of fuel prices, the report said.
Maruti grew 19% to 70,625 units in February 2009 compared to 59,311 units in the same month a year ago.
