The company exported 3,194 units of the Etios series last month.


Commenting on the sales in August this year, TKM's Deputy Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer (Marketing and Commercial) Sandeep Singh, said, "With the rupee depreciation and rising inflation we have increased the prices of Camry Petrol and Fortuner. The prices have been increased by 1 per cent.

"Last month we launched the Camry Hybrid, this is in line with offering advanced technology to ourcustomers and encouraging theuse of hybrid in India thereby contributing to a greener tomorrow. The market is still sluggish, however we hope to see the market improve with good monsoons and the upcoming festive season," he added.
