Top 10 Passenger Vehicles sold in May 2020

-

The coronavirus pandemic dealt a severe blow to the Indian car industry as it compelled companies to shutdown production and sales of vehicles.

As a result, carmakers did not sell even a single vehicle in April 2020 for the first time. However, as the government eased restrictions last month and the vehicle manufacturers started resuming operations, there has been some action on the sales front.

Maruti Suzuki, reported that it sold only 13,865 vehicles in India last month.

Japanese carmaker Toyota has also revealed its sales figures for May 2020. The company sold 1,639 units last month

The companies also opened their dealerships and started leveraging online sales platforms to make up for the reduced footfall at the showrooms.
