New Delhi, Apr 1 (PTI) Leading carmakers Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Motor India on Tuesday reported a year-on-year decline in vehicle dispatches to dealers in March amid inventory correction and softening demand. Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors, on the other hand, reported an increase in domestic passenger vehicle dispatches to dealers on the back of demand for their SUV models. Maruti Suzuki India, the country's largest carmaker, said its total domestic passenger vehicle dispatches to dealers declined by 1 per cent to 1,50,743 units as compared with 1,52,718 units in the year-ago month. Sales of mini segment cars, comprising Alto and S-Presso, declined marginally to 11,655 units against 11,829 units in March 2024. Sales of compact cars, including Baleno, Dzire, Ignis, and Swift, also declined to 66,906 units from 69,844 units in the year-ago month.
