Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) sold a total of 9,622 vehicles in the domestic market in April 2021. Obviously, the company couldn’t sell any vehicles in April 2020 owing to the nationwide pandemic lockdowns.
Despite the challenges, we continue to witness good demand owing to personal mobility needs and the same has helped us clock 9,622 units of wholesales in the month of April 2021. We have been able to partially fulfill pending orders by making use of the pipeline finished goods inventory, so as to ensure minimal discomfort to our customers. However, partial lockdown in different parts of the country has enhanced the gap between wholesale and retail. Also, sporadic lockdowns impacting different states and cities for varying durations have increased logistical challenges to supply the right vehicle to the right dealership and at the right time. We are trying our best to work around such logistical challenges so as to be able to meet customer requirements at the earliest. – Naveen Soni, Senior Vice President, TKM
Mr. Soni added that the company has launched a COVID Vaccination Centre (CVC) at the manufacturing plant and most of the employees above 45 years of age are vaccinated.
