GM India records sales of 8,901 vehicles in February 2012

General Motors India has sold 8,901 vehicles in the month of February 2012. The February sales comprised of 1,964 units of Chevrolet Tavera, 1,328 units of Chevrolet Spark, 537 units of Chevrolet Cruze, 273 units of Chevrolet Optra, 90 units of Chevrolet Aveo
and 25 units of Chevrolet Captiva. The February sales were driven by the encouraging response received by Chevrolet Beat Diesel, India’s most fuel efficient car. Chevrolet Beat has been one of the top performers for GM India this month registering sales of 4,684 units.

Commenting on the performance, P. Balendran, Vice-President, General Motors India, said, “The sales were not on the expected lines as the market continues to be sluggish.  High interest rates, hike in fuel prices, commodity prices, growing inflation, and negative market sentiments continue to put lot of pressure on the automobile market. The industry might get some respite if we have an industry-friendly budget. But our vehicles demonstrate our commitment to fully leverage our resources in India to offer customers new products that meet their unique needs. Introduction of best-in-segment cars, increase in customer outreach through distribution network, our unique value proposition like Chevrolet Cashless Ownership offer and our promise to deliver quality and performance are the factors that reiterate our commitment to this market.”
