The country’s top two carmakers Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Motor witnessed significant declines in export during October, as they shifted attention to meet the rising domestic demand ahead of the festive season. In the month, domestic market leader Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) witnessed its exports declining by 18.11 per cent to 11,353 units from 13,864 units in the year-ago period. Likewise, its rival and the country’s largest exporter Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) also saw its overseas sales going down by 25.32 per cent to 17,500 units from 23,434 units in the corresponding period last year.

In the last two months, both these companies have diverted its exports to the domestic market to meet the demand. Besides, the demand in the European market has come down in recent months after the scrappage scheme exhausted.

MSI posted its best figure so far for the domestic market at 1,07,555 units in October, a 50.32 per cent increase from 71,551 units in October 2009. This was for the first time, when the company crossed one lakh units-mark in a single month in the domestic market. HMIL too reported its best-ever domestic monthly sales at 34,725 units in October, a jump of 22.70 per cent over the same month last year. It had sold 28,301 units in the year-ago period.
