Honda Siel Cars India (HSCI), leading manufacturer of premium cars in India reported sales of 2,012 units during the month of April 2011 as against 3,578 units sold during the corresponding month last year.


Commenting on the company's sales volumes Mr. Jnaneswar Sen, Sr. Vice President, Sales Marketing said, “As announced earlier, the Japan issue prompted us to reduce production at our Greater Noida plant to 50% from this month. However, production adjustments for a smooth transition began from mid April. Further, to ensure continuity of supplies to our customers in the forthcoming months, we have moderated our wholesale despatches. We are hoping that supplies will normalise post July and we would be able to catch up on the lost volumes.”
