Skoda India has reported a sales growth of 65% in month of March 2011 compared to the previous month. There are three primary reasons for this growth:
- Business men and self-employed professionals prefer buying vehicles in month of March as they can claim for depreciation cost benefit in their tax returns for the whole financial year
- The cars are rising every couple of months and after budget, the prices of cars usually go high in the next financial year which starts on 1 April, owing to the increased cost of raw materials etc.
- Skoda is working hard to make its cars better and provide better and quality services to its customers and attracting new buyers
Here are the highlights from the official press release:
- Crosses 3000 units for the first time in India, total sales of 3009 in March
- Combined first quarter sales of 8346 units
- First quarter growth of 52 % as compared to 2010
