"Although we have generated the volumes for Chevrolet Sail as expected, the overall numbers inclusive of other models were not on the expected lines as the market continues to remain subdued," GM India Vice President P Balendran said.

"The hike in excise duty for SUVs which is impacting other models as well has further dampened the growth prospects," Balendran said.
