Honda Cars India Ltd. (HCIL), registered monthly domestic sales of 16,758 units in August 2014 witnessing a growth of 88%. The company sold 8,913 units in the corresponding month last year. The export units stood at 460 units during August 2014.
The tremendous growth for the month has been achieved owing to strong sales momentum for the family sedan Honda Amaze and tremendous response for the newly launched stylish 7 seater MPV Honda Mobilio.
HCIL registered an overall growth of 49% during the period April – August 2014 with 73,185 units as against 49,263 units during the corresponding period last year.
Expressing delight at the company’s performance Mr. Jnaneswar Sen, Sr. Vice President – Marketing & Sales, Honda Cars India Ltd. said, "We are extremely happy to witness consistent growth for Honda cars month after month. The festive season has already set-in and will bring further cheer to the market. We are geared up for strong sales in coming months."
HCIL will resume the production of its best seller Honda City from 1st week of September 2014 and the car will now be manufactured at the Tapukara plant in Rajasthan. Earlier last month, HCIL also crossed the milestones of domestic sales of 1 Lakh Amaze and 1 lakh units of cars powered by i-DTEC diesel engines.

This clearly shows that Amaze still has a lot of potential and till date its sales were restricted by production capacity. However, this month Amaze clearly benefited from production halt of the new city…..Mobilio chucked good numbers, lets see how long it can hold this craze with Maruti Ertiga still doing very good in lieu of discounts being offered along with a very competitive price tag (Dont know why Honda has priced Mobilio so expensively!!). Brio is dying its own death, wont be able to hold for more than a year.
