Cumulative sales (April-November 2001-02) stood at 3.5 lakh cars, a 4.2 per cent drop over 3.7 lakh cars in the year-ago period, the data showed. Maruti recorded a 11.1 per cent dip selling 23,994 cars in November 2001 over 27,007 cars in the year-ago month.
Commercial vehicles sales, a barometer of economic growth, rose 7.8 per cent to 10,297 units from 9,548 units, due to a rise in medium and heavy vehicles sales.
Multi-utility-vehicles (MUVs) recorded a 14.3 per cent jump at 10,456 units over 9,146 units in the year-ago month. In the two-wheeler segment, scooter, the once-mainstay of the middle class continued its revival, posting a 15 per cent rise with sales of 79,560 units during November.
Motorcycles sales also increased 34.8 per cent at 2.6 lakh units over 1.9 lakh units sold in the year-ago month.
