Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Tata managed to grab the top three spots in terms of overall sales during 2020

Last year, i.e., 2020, was a difficult time for everyone, including the automobile industry. During April, when the lockdown was put into effect, the Indian car market hit zero sales for the month, for the first time ever. Manufacturers were quick to adapt though, and sanitised home deliveries helped restart the market.

The year ended with a few carmakers registering a strong sales growth, while a few others still struggled till the end. Maruti Suzuki maintained its top position in the Indian market, with a total sales of 12,13,660 units throughout 2020. The second position was held by Hyundai, with a retail figure of 4,23,643 units.

Tata Motors surprised everyone by climbing up the sales charts rather strongly, managing to grab the third position with a sales figure of 1,70,769 units. Despite being a relatively new entry into the Indian market and having a limited lineup, Kia managed to grab the fourth place, selling a total of 1,40,055 cars last year.
