The prolonged slowdown has been denting production of some of the leading carmakers in India, but the month of September has shown some signs of improvement. Maruti Suzuki in September 2019 has witnessed a lesser de-growth in sales compared to what it recorded in the previous month and that has reflected in production figures as well. Despite two days plant shutdown (September 7 and September 9), Maruti Suzuki has recorded 17.37 per cent decline in production last month which is still better than 33.67 per cent slump it witnessed in August 2019.
