Commenting on the sales, Arvind Saxena, Sr VP, Marketing & Sales, HMIL said, “HMIL sales for April had been robust with a very healthy growth and we feel that the budget has been a contributory factor. The i10 too has done exceedingly well to establish itself as a major player in this segment with domestic sales alone accounting for over 50,000 units in just six months which is the fastest ever for any model and with the highest growth rate in this segment things are looking good for HMIL”.

Overall, in the first quarter of 2008, HMIL sold 106,995 cumulative units. HMIL also opened its 13th store in Bangalore this month. This makes the company’s number of dealership 54 in the southern region. The latest showroom is built over 55,000 square feet which makes it one of the biggest “3S facility” (sales, service, spares).
