German luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz today reported 12.4 per cent increase in its half-yearly sales in India at 8,061 units strengthening its leadership position.
In the January-June period last year the company had sold 7,171 units, Mercedes-Benz India said in a statement.
The sales growth also marks the brand's highest ever half-yearly volumes in India, it added.
Mercedes-Benz India Managing Director and CEO Roland Folger said, "Our sales performance is in line with our expectation despite last year's extraordinary demand in Q2, owing to the anticipation of GST implementation."
He further said, "With our wide range of new generation cars, sedans, SUVs and the performance cars, we are confident to continue the drive, we set for ourselves in the first half."
