The Indian largest automaker has announced that more than 38 lakh units of the Alto have been sold in India since its launch in the country.

Besides the achievement of the 38 lakh unit sales number, The Maruti Alto has almost consistently been the best-selling hatchback in the Indian auto market over a period of 15 months. Moreover, the vehicle is also the most popular hatchback among the first-time auto buyers in India with 54% of the Alto buyers being the first owners, which is really noteworthy, since nowadays, the second-hand car market in India has developed at a very rapid pace, and is on the way to becoming even larger than the new one.
