The country's largest passenger car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) reported 47 per cent year-on-year fall in its total sales during March to 83,792 units, as automakers in the country were forced to suspend operations amid a nationwide lockdown aimed to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

Export sales were down 55 per cent to 4,712 units from 10,463 in the year-ago period. Sales of mini cars comprising Alto and WagonR stood at 15,988 units as compared to 16,826 units in the same month last year, down 5 per cent. In the domestic market, light commercial vehicles suffered a blow of 71.5 per cent to 736 units in March 2020 compared to 2,582 units in March 2019.
