Kirloskar Motor today announced that the company sold a total of 12,373
units in the month of October 2020, thereby clocking a growth of

sold 8116 units in the month of September 2020). For reference, the company had
sold a total of 11,866 units in the domestic market in October 2019 and had
exported 744 units of the Etios as well.
Commenting
on the month’s performance, Mr. Naveen Soni, Sr. Vice President, Sales &
Service- TKM said, “The month of October has been our best month so
far since March 2020. The festive season has proved to be bullish as we witness
demand surging, month on month. This has been true of our retails too as order
flow has been smooth, from the very beginning.
The fact
that our wholesales have been registering an average growth of close to
50% every month gives us confidence that the demand for bigger
vehicles is rising too, with both the Innova Crysta and the Fortuner
clocking promising figures as compared to earlier months this year. Glanza also
has been performing very consistently throughout the year. The month of October
marks an important milestone for us as we began deliveries of the recently
launched Urban Cruiser to our customers across the country. Urban Cruiser has
made a very promising start and we are hopeful that with the Urban Cruiser, we
will be able to cater to the dynamic needs of our customers in that particular
segment.
Finally, the
constant support of our manufacturing side has helped us ramp production to be
able to meet the rising market demands along with the strong support of our
Strategic Business Partners & Dealers in different regions across the
country. The Marketing team has been very instrumental too in coming up with
schemes & offers that are not only customer friendly but are designed
keeping in mind the current challenges of our times. One such scheme that we
have been running since last month, allows our customers to avail a Special
Cash Package offer alongside the ‘Leave Travel Scheme’ as
announced by the Govt. of India,” he concluded.
