Toyota India Sales April 2021
Toyota India sales in April 2021 stood at 9,622 units even as the company showed a dip in MoM sales. The Glanza was the 4th best-selling premium hatchback in the country with sales at 2,182 units in the past month. The Urban Cruiser was launched in India in September 2020 and has already become one of the company’s bestselling models.
Low sales figures in April 21 were on account of the company manufacturing unit being shut down in the last week of April for annual maintenance program which was announced across both plants in Bidadi from 26 April to 14 May, 2021. During this period supply of vehicles produced at the plants will be impacted. The shutdown will have no adverse impact on supply of the Glanza or the Urban Cruiser and other imported models in the company lineup.
