As can be seen in the table, holding the first position was the Maruti Dzire with nearly 20,000 units sold last month. In the second place, the Baleno witnessed a sales number of 17,264 units in March 2019. Next is the Alto with 15,826 units, recording a decrease of 28% compared with the same period last year. For your information, Maruti Suzuki has decided to discontinue the production of the Alto 800 and will launch the new-gen model based on the Concept Future S under the K10 badge in mid-2019.

The Maruti Dzire topped the list with almost 20,000 units sold last month.

Sitting in the 4th place was the recently launched third-gen Wagon R, which has taken the whole car community aback with its wide range of features, right from the base variant. 16,152 units of the tall boy hatchback were sold last months, helping it easily outsell one of its direct competitors, the Hyundai Santro. Next, the Maruti Swift took up the fifth position with 12,218 units sold.

The best-selling SUV in India, the Maruti Vitara Brezza, despite the fierce competition from quite a few other vehicles in the same segment, such as the Tata Nexon, the Ford EcoSport, the recently launched Mahindra XUV300, still managed to stand at the sixth place with 14,181 units sold last month. Furthermore, the Hyundai Venue, which will become the first connected SUV in its segment, will also pose a threat to the Maruti Vitara Brezza.

The two models from the South Korean carmaker, the Hyundai Elite i20 and the Hyundai Creta took the seventh and ninth positions with 12,172 and 11,482 units sold last month, respectively. Positioned between them is the Maruti Celerio, which recorded a sales number of 11,807 units in March. Now, as the Maruti Omni production has been shelved, there is an increasing demand for the Ecco and no wonder why it manages to make it to top-selling Indian vehicles’ list and hold the tenth position with 9,895 units sold last month.

The best-selling Hyundai model, which also took the seventh place in the list is the Hyundai Elite i20.
