MUMBAI – Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. Thursday reported higher year-on-year sales for April, fuelled by higher exports and increasing preference among Indians for utility vehicles.

Within this, the mini and compact sub-segment saw a marginal dip with sales of 67,923 units during the month, compared to 68,472 units a year ago. Sales of mini cars – Alto and S-Presso – declined 45% on year to 6,332 units while sales of compact cars improved 8% to 61,591 units. The compact car category comprises models such as Baleno, Celerio, Dzire, Ignis, Swift, and WagonR.
