Three car makers cornered gains in the expanding domestic car market during the calendar year 2017. Maruti Suzuki was the biggest gainer in the world's fifth-largest passenger vehicle market last year, followed by Tata Motors and Honda Cars. New and successful launches helped these three car makers to expand their market.
Suzuki promoted Maruti ended 2017 with a market share of 49.9 per cent against 47.3 per cent in 2016. This is the highest share seen by the company in over a decade. Maruti's gain is helped by the 15 per cent growth in domestic sales (to 1.6 million vehicles)
