The automobile segment has been on a rough patch due to several reasons, first due to diesel ban and now due to demonetization. But, if we glance back, many automobile companies did fairly well and even saw record breaking sales. Some of the companies such as Maruti were even unaffected by demonetization as their sales surged.
The year also saw many new launches that became an instant hit in the market. Many four-wheelers such as Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, revamped Toyota Fortuner, etc ruled the market. Maruti and Hyundai, specifically, beat cash ban blues, so much so that Maruti may touch selling 1.58 million units by the end of this fiscal. Maruti’s Brezza has a waiting period of 20-24 weeks.
