Total sales in the month include domestic sales of 66,415 units (down 55.74% YoY), sales to other OEM of 2,400 units (down 6.54% YoY) and exports of 17,565 units (up 124.21% YoY).The company said its sales volume in September 2021 was adversely impacted due to shortage of electronic components. The company took all possible measures to limit the adverse impact.
Meanwhile, the car major on Thursday announced that it is facing a supply constraint of electronic components due to the semiconductor shortage. Due to this, the firm is expecting an adverse impact on vehicle production in October 2021 in both Haryana and its contract manufacturing company, Suzuki Motor Gujarat (SMG), in Gujarat.
Though the situation is quite dynamic, it is currently estimated that the total vehicle production volume across both locations could be around 60% of normal production.
