Hyundai Motor India total sales up 4 per cent in April

Hyundai Motor India, India's second-largest car maker, has reported 4.30 per cent rise in total sales at 56,954 units in April.

The company had sold 54,606 units in the corresponding month of previous year.

Exports of the company, however, went up by 25.67 per cent to 24,551 units during the month under review from 19,536 units in the same period last year, the statement said.

"The exports have shown good growth on account of strong demand from non-European markets, while the domestic market continues to witness pressure...there are signs of recovery with the increase in demand for petrol cars," HMIL Senior Vice President (Sales and Marketing) Rakesh Srivastava said.

In the current difficult times, HMIL is continuously gaining market share, he claimed.

In the domestic market, however, Hyundai Motors India recorded a decline of 7.60 per cent in sales at 32,403 units, compared to 35,070 units in the year-ago period.
