Interestingly, the worst decline in exports was for Celerio as the model recoded 91% degrowth over last year. This could be because of the logistical challenges associated with the introduction of the new generation Celerio in the country. It isn’t clear if the exports were of the previous gen Celerio or the 2021 Celrio.
Most Hyundai models have recorded a decline in their export numbers. This could be governed by the fact that most of these models have a long waiting period in the domestic market as well. Hyundai’s Team would have wanted to prioritize the Domestic market rather than focusing on exports.
Export numbers for Maruti have shot through the roof, when comparing on a Year on Year basis. Most Suzuki models have registered strong double/triple digits increase in exports on a YoY basis. Some new entrants in the export list vs last year include models like Suzuki Jimny, Honda City, Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, Hyundai Alcazar, Toyota Fortuner and Isuzu Hi Lander.
