Jnaneswar Sen, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales spoke about the automobile industry’s big challenge owing to a quick shift in consumer preferences from diesel to petrol. The ongoing ban on diesel cars has also had an impact on consumer sentiment.
As a result, HCIL sales has been affected owing to mismatch in demand and availability of required variants. Breaking it down further it means if the demand for a diesel variant stood at 60 as against 40 for diesel, consumer preference has modified those numbers to 65 and 35 which means the company would have an additional 5 vehicles laying in stock for a diesel variant and a deficit of 5 petrol cars. HCIL is taking corrective measures to address the situation.
In the face of current challenges, HCIL is confident of positive growth in the current fiscal. Sales break-up for April 2016 stands as follows: Brio 198 units, Jazz 869 units, Amaze 2,639 units, City 5,793 units, Mobilio 374 units, BR-V 567 units, CR-V 46 units. Honda India’s latest offering, the BR-V crossover launch is scheduled for 5th May, 2016.
