Hyundai India today announced registering a 3.8 per cent decline in total sales for the month of July 2019. Last month, the South Korean carmaker's cumulative sales stood at 57,310 units, compared to 59,590 vehicles that were sold in July 2018. The major impact came from the domestic market, which registered de-growth of 10 per cent, at 39,010 units, compared to 43,481 Hyundai cars sold during the same month last year.

In fact, the month before that, in June too, Hyundai saw a drop of 7.3 per cent in cumulative sales, while exports grew by 9 per cent, compared to last year's sales numbers.
