Following
is the list of top ten best selling cars in India in October 2013. The numbers have been rounded off to the nearest 100.

As can be
seen, out of the top 10, six positions are held by Suzuki products. Suzuki is
also retaining the number one overall position with 42 per cent share of the
market. In contrast to Asian automotive
giants, European brands are just small dwarfs, struggling to breath. Four European brands present in India i.e.
VW, Skoda, Renault and Fiat have a combined share of six per cent which is
exceeded by India’s Tata Motors alone.
Honda is
moving ahead but it is stuck at its capacity limit i.e. approximately 10000
units per month. Its second factory in
Rajasthan is expected to commence production in the beginning of next year. All
of its good numbers are due to Amaze, its sub 4 meter sedan. Honda is now
giving a good fight to Toyota for fourth position in Indian market.
Ecosport
has now come down and stands just above its main competitor Renault Duster on
the ranking ladder. Its insane waiting periods running somewhere around 8 to 10
months are making people cancel their bookings and go for other options. And
these periods are for diesel models. For petrol (Ecoboost and normal 1.5 lt.
engine), nobody knows whether and when the delivery will take place.
