Commenting on the sales momentum, Mr. Atul Sood, Vice President of Sales and Strategic Marketing at Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said “In November’23 we registered a wholesale growth of 51% as compared to the same period last year. This is despite a weeklong scheduled halt as a part of maintenance to enhance future efficiencies and ensure quality of the highest standard. As a customer centric company, we ensured minimum impact on delivery by using contingent inventory to serve the pending and immediate requirements of our customers.

We recorded a strong festive season with healthy bookings, and we are extremely thrilled to see the market responding very positively to our entire product range. Popular models, like the Hilux, Innova Hycross, Urban Cruiser Hyryder and the New Innova Crysta continue to steer our growth. The ever-loved Fortuner and Legender continue mark their strong presence by upholding segment leadership. In addition, the Vellfire, Rumion, Camry Hybrid and Glanza are positively contributing to our booking numbers thus encouraging us to look forward to closing the year on a record high. 

Month of November marked 25 years of TKM’s India journey in India, as we continue to be driven by our customer-centric approach that focuses on the highest quality standards to offer customers a delightful ownership experience. I would also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to over 2.3 million Toyota owners in India. It’s the trust & confidence of our customers that is not only generating overwhelming response for our entire product portfolio but also encouraging us to undertake more customer centric initiatives to grow the Toyota family.”
