Maruti Suzuki recorded 12,143 units with the Alto as it finished on top of the hatchback sales charts in September 2021 with 33 per cent de-growth

In the month of September 2021, the passenger car industry endured a massive YoY de-growth of 36.6 per cent and it was mainly due to the production constraints caused by semiconductor shortage across the board. In the hatchback class, the Alto entry-level model finished on top of the sales charts with 12,143 units as against 18,246 units in September 2020.

This led to negative YoY volume growth of 33 per cent. The Maruti Suzuki Baleno finished in the second position with 8,077 units as against 19,433 units during the corresponding month in 2020 with a YoY sales decrease of 58 per cent. The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R ended up as the third most sold hatchback in the country in the month of September 2021.

The tall-riding hatch garnered a cumulative domestic tally of 7,632 units as against 17,581 units during the same period twelve months ago with a 57 per cent drop in volumes. The Tata Altroz endured the least de-growth and it should be appreciated for its consistent sales numbers in recent months – often positioned second in the premium hatchback space.
