Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), after reporting the highest ever monthly sales in January this year, is expecting a sales growth of between 5 and 7 per cent in February as well. The company increased its production in January and is continuing the same this month, in order to meet growing demand. Its three hot selling models – the DZire, the SX4 and the A-Star – all have a long waiting period. Maruti’s future plans include an expansion of its dealer network, which it intends to increase from the current 600 dealers across the country to 1,000. It is also doing well on the export front, having already received an export order for 23,000 units of the car. So far, over 9,000 models of the A-Star have been exported.
