Auto Sales June 2023: Maruti Suzuki India Domestic Sales Rise Marginally

In June 2023, Maruti Suzuki India reported a marginal increase in domestic sales. Despite the challenges faced by the automotive industry due to the ongoing global chip shortage and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Maruti Suzuki managed to maintain its positive momentum. The company reported cumulative domestic sales of 1,59,418 units in June 2023, representing a marginal 2.28 per cent increase compared to the 155,857 units sold in the same period last year.
