The company had sold 18,257 units in the domestic market in September 2017, Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) said in a statement.
"The subdued market sentiment combined with higher base of September 2017 and onset of Shradh period in Northern India from last week resulted in lower sales in September compared to last year," HCIL Senior Vice President and Director, Sales and Marketing, Rajesh Goel said.
In order to keep the dealer stock within its norms, the company rationalised the wholesale dispatches in September, he added.
For the first six months of the current fiscal, the company sold 94,419 units, a sales growth of 3.5 per cent, over 91,269 units in the corresponding period of 2017-18.
