The festive season has brought a positive spur in the customer buying sentiment. Customer orders continue to be strongdespite the price hike of products in line with cess hike this month. New Fortuner has seen overwhelming customer demand even after the impact of price rise and after a year of its launch.
Commenting on the monthly sales, N. Raja, Director & Sr. Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, "We revised the price of our products on 12th September 2017 in line with the cess hike which nearly reflects the prices in the pre-GST scenario. We are happy that our customer demand had minimum impact of the cess hike and the festive season has ushered in a positive growth in the domestic sales. Despite the spike in customer demand, we had to close the month early by 28th September, leading to lesser number of production days.
