July month sets another record of sorts: We are happy to announce that Ford India has reported a 307% jump in July sales compared to last year, with total sales of 8,739 units, four times the 2,146 sales made in July 2009. The sales performance also represents an increase of 20% compared to June 2010 figures. The July numbers continue a strong 2010 growth surge that has enabled Ford India to achieve total vehicle sales of 46,751 units in the January to July period.

Michael Boneham, president and managing director, Ford India has this to say: We are delighted with our results to date. Sales from January to July 2010 were greater than any annual sales figures reported by Ford India during the past five years. This success is driven by a number of factors including an improved economic environment as well as new releases and the opening of new dealerships and service centres across the country. The Ford Figo is one of the major catalysts behind these terrific total sales numbers. Figo has transformed our business and presence in India and we recently introduced a second production shift to keep up with demand.

Since its launch in March, the Figo has been truly embraced by Indian consumers with more than 29,000 sales bookings registered so far.

We thank all our customers and well wishers for their never ending support without which this wouldn’t have been possible.
