Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) on Saturday reported a 29.73 per cent increase in sales for December at 14,093 units as against 10,863 units in the same month last year. The company sold 12,747 units in the domestic market in December 2016, making it the highest sale in December in the last five years, TKM said in a statement. It had sold 10,442 units in the same month last year. TKM exported 1,346 units of the Etios series last month as against 441 units in December 2015.
Commenting on sales performance, TKM Director & Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing N Raja said: “December is usually a high selling month as most manufacturers try and liquidate the year-end stocks and come up with schemes offering huge discounts on products. In our case, we ensure a lean inventory at all times both on our side as well as the dealer and we have been able to maintain the same in the year end as well.”
