New Delhi: Automobile major Hyundai Motor India foresees a sustainable up-trend in demand on the back of accelerated economic recovery as well as opening of offices and other establishments. Besides, the company expects the strong response to the ongoing vaccination programme is expected to drive the growth momentum into the first quarter of FY22.

In a conversation, HMIL's Director Sales and Marketing Tarun Garg credited the healthy demand on faster economic recovery, opening up of offices, schools, colleges and the Covid triggered shift from public to personal transport. "We are hopeful that sales momentum will continue in the near future," Garg told.

"However, the situation is dynamic. We are keeping a very close watch on the second wave of infections that is being reported from several States." Furthermore, he cited attractive interest rates and low automobile ownership in India as other major reasons for healthy sales pick-up. Recently, the company reported sales growth for eighth consecutive month in Februaray.

Last month, the company's overall sales grew by 26.4 per cent including exports to 61,800 units from 48,910 units sold during the corresponding period of last year. Similarly, domestic sales edged higher by 29 per cent to 51,600 units from 40,010 units sold during the corresponding month of the previous year. The company's exports rose by 14.6 per cent to 10,200 units from 8,900 units shipped out during February 2020.
