The company continued its positive momentum in the domestic market and added 3,976 units to May 2025 volumes. However, on a month-on-month basis, domestic sales declined by 7.83% from 51,902 units sold in April 2026. The decline of 4,065 units is largely in line with broader industry trends, as manufacturers adjust dispatches following strong year-end and festive demand in previous months.
While domestic demand remained strong, exports declined 10.38% year-on-year to 13,300 units compared to 14,840 units shipped in May 2025. This weighed on overall growth, with overall sales growth limited to 4.15% despite strong domestic performance.
