General Motors India registered a growth of 17.35 % in sales led by the overwhelming response to Chevrolet Beat Diesel in September 2011, compared to the corresponding period last year. It sold 10112 units in September 2011 against 8617 units sold in September 2010.
The September 2011 sales comprised 5621 units of Chevrolet Beat, 1789 units of Chevrolet Tavera, 1603 units of Chevrolet Spark, 814 units of the Chevrolet Cruze, 325 units of Chevrolet Optra, 192 Units of Chevrolet Aveo and 128 units of the Chevrolet Captiva.
Commenting on the performance, Mr. P. Balendran, Vice President, GM India said, “The growth was primarily driven by the recently launched most fuel efficient vehicle Chevrolet Beat Diesel. We remain committed to fully leveraging our resources to offer customers across the country best-in-class products and services that meet their unique needs. But the market continues to be sluggish due to repeated hike in interest rates and rising fuel prices, which is creating tremendous pressure in the automobile market.”
