Maruti Suzuki has maintained the lead followed by Hyundai, Mahindra and Tata Motors.
Mahindra has managed to maintain its position riding on the back of newer models like the Mahindra XUV300 and SsangYong Rexton G4 based Alturas G4. While Alturas G4 being a more expensive offering has contributed marginally, the XUV300 subcompact SUV along with existing models like the Scorpio and XUV500 have added significantly to the overall volumes. That said, at 27 per cent Mahindra also recorded a comparatively lesser sales decline in FY2020 compared to the previous year while Tata Motors witnessed a sales decline of 38 per cent in the same period. Both companies have also transitioned to BS6 with updated models. While Tata Motors have discontinued small diesel engines in models like the Tiago and Tigor, Mahindra will be converting both diesel and petrol engines to BS6.
