While its monthly sales were low, the company witnessed a 13 per cent increase in its year-to-date volumes.

Speaking on the sales report, Honda Cars India, President and CEO, Yoichiro Ueno said, "HCIL has witnessed strong sales momentum with the existing product line-up marking a cumulative growth of over 13% and we are confident of closing the financial year on a positive note. We showcased our upcoming models at the recently concluded Auto Expo 2018 which has created a significant buzz in the market. The planned reduction in volumes of current Amaze resulted in lower wholesale in February."
