November 2020 car retail sales grew by just over 5 percent YoY

Post the flurry of sales through the ever dependable festive season, November 2020 saw most manufacturers maintain momentum through the month. As expected, Maruti Suzuki commands the lion’s share of retail sales at just under 50 percent. That’s half of all cars sold in India. No surprises there. MSIL is comfortable at that spot and share, and its performance at the top of the table is now a timeless one, repeated without any real threat, month after month.
