Honda Cars India today reported over two-fold increase in domestic sales at 14,543 units in February.

The company had sold 6,510 units in the same month of the previous year, Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) said in a statement.

During February, the company sold 1,235 units of its small car Brio, 6,030 units of sedan Amaze and 7,213 units of the premium sedan City.

Besides, the company sold 65 units of sports utility vehicle CRV. In addition, the company exported a total of 252 units during the month.

"We are happy to see the huge demand for the all new Honda City which has gained the leadership position in its segment from the first month itself," HCIL Senior Vice-President (Marketing and Sales) Jnaneswar Sen said.

The deliveries for the Petrol City have begun from February, he added.

"With both our car manufacturing plants in operation, it will aid in quick delivery of cars and cater to the strong demand from our customers. The excise duty reduction announced in Interim Budget last month has made all our cars even more attractively priced," Sen added.
