Ford India sales jump 267% in June

MUMBAI: Carmaker Ford India on Thursday reported a 267 per cent jump in its sales to 7,269 units in June as compared to 1,982 units in the same period last year on the back of a good response for Figo.

"Success was driven mainly by the popularity of the Figo. We will continue to focus on our customers needs so that they will feel the Ford difference with our products and services," Ford India's president and managing director Michael Boneham, said in a statement.

The company sold 22,858 units from April to June this year, as compared to 6,184 units in the same period last year.

"This is a phenomenal feat with our March to June sales figures alone exceeding the entire sales volume for 2009," Boneham said.

"We will begin our second production shift this month in order to step up production to meet the demands that we have created," Boneham added.

The company sells its Ikon, Endeavour, Fiesta and Figo in Indian market. It has more than 167 dealership outlets across 97 cities in India.
