Ford India Sales And Exports Drop By 32 Per Cent In October 2017

It’s not been a great year for Ford India as far as sales and exports is concerned. The company’s combined domestic wholesales and exports in October reached 15,033 vehicles from 22,043 vehicles in the same month last year, a drop of almost 32 per cent. Domestic wholesales in October stood at 4218 vehicles, as against 7,508 units a year ago, while exports were at 10,815 vehicles compared to 14,535 units last year.

"The ramp up for the new model introduction has impacted our wholesale for October. We are excited to have the All-New Ford EcoSport be on the side of the Indian customers very soon," said Anurag Mehrotra, President & Managing Director, Ford India.

The company has plans to launch the new EcoSport on November 9 and we still are to see what is to happen with the company’s partnership with Mahindra. The Aspire and the Figo haven’t seen great numbers in terms of sale in the domestic market but we hope that the new EcoSport breathes in some fresh life in terms of sales for the company
