Maruti Suzuki has maintained its position at the top of the Indian car market and informed on Sunday that it had sold a little over 1.36 lakh units of its vehicles in the country in July. Another 21,224 units were exported in the same month.

Maruti informed it had sold around 1.33 lakh passenger vehicle units in the domestic market last month, up from 97,768 in July of 2020. The company notes that owing to Covid-19-related factors last year as well as at present, a year-on-year comparison may not paint an accurate picture. That said, the propulsion continues to come from Maruti Suzuki's dominance in the small car sub-segments.
