MUMBAI (NewsRise) -- Maruti Suzuki India, the nation's largest auto maker, saw a second consecutive month of sales decline in August after heavy rains and floods in southern India hurt demand for cars and sport-utility vehicles.
Total sales fell 3.4% to 158,189 units last month, the Suzuki Motor unit said in a statement on Saturday. Domestic sales of Maruti's cars, minivans, and SUVs fell 2.8% to 147,700 units, while exports declined more than 10% to 10,489 units.
