Speaking on the sale figures, Deputy Managing Director for Marketing, TKM, Mr. Sandeep Singh said that the drop in the sales in mainly due to the plant shut down, which was undertaken to increase the production from 2,10,000 units per year to 3,10,000 units per annum for the next year. The first plant that manufacturers Fortuner and Toyota Innova was shut down for an entire week and the next plant that manufactures Etios series and Camry was shut down for about 15 days. He also added that the market is still picking up the pace and the company is hoping to see some good sale growth in the end of the year sales. He also hoped that market will grow in the first quarter of the next year.
