Leading Automaker Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) witnessed cumulative sales of 60,105 units in the month of January, a year-on-year growth of 15.6%.
Hyundai sold a total of 52,005 units last month. The credit of this sales number can be given to Creta and the new i20 . While domestic sales in the month saw an uptick, exports fell by 19% when compared to figures from a year ago. Export of the company dipped to 8,100 last month from 10,000 in January of 2020.
