India February 2011: Alto high again, Nano back in Top 10

Tata Nano

Another very strong month for car sales in India with at #1 the Maruti Alto above 33,000 units for the 2nd time only in its career, and at #2 the Hyundai i10 at 15,000+ sales for the 4th time in the last 12 months.

Tata is doing well, with the Tata Indigo/Manza at #7 (8,966 sales) and the Tata Nano at #8, its first time in the Top 10 since August 2010 and its second best monthly figure yet at 8,262 sales.

A few models have their strongest month ever: the VW Vento (#21 with 3,548 sales), Maruti SX4 (thanks to the new diesel version, #22 at 3,534 units), VW Polo (#23, 3,303 sales), Toyota Etios (still a bit shy though at #26 and 2,786 sales) and Nissan Micra, for the first time above 2,000 sales at 2,030 (#30). The new Tata Venture launches at 299 sales.
