The company riding on the success of the 4th generation Honda City, Honda Amaze and the newly launched Honda Mobilio, has registered an overall growth of 48% during the period April-September 2014 with 88,200 units being sold in India, he said.
He said that North India contributes to more than 27% of the HCIL sales and is witnessing similar growth in the current fiscal year.
In reply to a question, Sen claimed that with the fall in the prices of petrol and narrowing of gap between the prices of diesel and petrol there was no scope for reducing the cost of diesel vehicles.
However, he said the customers have again started taking more interest in buying petrol vehicles.
