Maruti Suzuki has extended its lead over others as India's number one carmaker by clocking nearly 1.60 lakh units in November. With almost 15 per cent increase in sales compared to November last year, Maruti cars found 1,59,044 homes last month compared to 1,39,184 units during the same month last year. However, Maruti's sales has not been able to match its performance this festive season when it clocked 1.67 lakh units in October.

Buoyed by new launches this year, which includes the new generation Baleno to the brand new model Grand Vitara, Maruti Suzuki has grown in strength despite shortage of electronic components. After acing the small car segment, the carmaker has now shifted its focus on the SUV segment with a slew of launches including the new generation Brezza. The shift is evident with utility vehicles like Brezza, Grand Vitara, XL6 and Ertiga contributing a healthy growth with 32,563 units sold last month. This is besides Eeco contributing another 7,183 units in the utility vehicles segment.
