Besides City, the company managed to sell 361 units of premium hatchback Jazz, 175 units of premium sedan Civic, 103 units of luxury sedan Accord and 14 units of its SUV (sports utility vehicle) CR-V.
Speaking on the company’s performance during the month, HSCI Senior Vice President (Sales and Marketing) Jnaneswar Sen said, "We have been working with production constraints for the last few months. However, the recovery efforts are going on to increasingly meet the demand which has helped us improve our sales in June 2011."
It is to be mentioned here that the car maker had to cut-down its production as the massive earthquake and Tsunami blocked the supply of parts from the company’s units in Japan.
