Ford India registers 307% jump in July sales

Commenting on the robust and consistent sales growth, Michael Boneham, president and managing director, Ford India said, "We are delighted with our results to date. Sales from January to July 2010 were greater than any annual sales figures reported by Ford India during the past five years.

The sales performance also represents an increase of 20 percent compared to June 2010 figures.

The July numbers continue a strong 2010 growth surge that has enabled Ford India to achieve total vehicle sales of 46,751 units in the January to July period.

Boneham added, "The Ford Figo is one of the major catalysts behind these terrific total sales numbers. Figo has transformed our business and presence in India and we recently introduced a second production shift to keep up with demand."

Since its launch in March, the Figo has been truly embraced by Indian consumers with more than 29,000 sales bookings registered so far.
