For all their standings, none of the models could better their respective sales in April.
Sales figures for May are in, and we have five carmakers occupying the top 10 places. Considering most states have ongoing lockdowns and certain carmakers have halted production, it isn’t a surprise that numbers have dwindled, irrespective of the make. In fact, none of the models could register a positive month-on-month (MoM) growth from April 2021.
However, this time, the top 10 list features more OEMs than the only two in the months before, thanks to Kia, Tata, and Mahindra now in the mix.

SUVs continue to dominate, evident from as many as six models, followed by three hatchbacks and one sedan.
With lockdowns starting to ease in certain states, we expect car sales to improve. And with retail and dealership experiences shifting to virtual platforms, buying a car is now easier (not to forget, safer) from the comfort of your home.
