“HMIL started accepting export orders for the i10 from December, 2007, and received 60,000 orders from the overseas market creating a record of clocking the fastest 50,000 units of export orders in just three months,” the company said in a statement cited by The Financial Express website.
The model eventually will be exported to all major markets world-wide – over 90 countries – by the end of the year.
The i10 is made at HMIL’s Chennai plant which recently started a training programme for staff from overseas distributors. The first group of 31 sales managers from 21 countries are presently in a four-day training programme.
“This familiarisation and understanding of the i10 and HMI as a company will help them to further establish the product in their respective markets. This is also a beginning of a trend, which by itself is a first for the industry where overseas partners are trained in India,” the statement said.
