The country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) on Thursday reported total sales of 1,67,014 units in March.
The company had sold 83,792 units in March last year amid nationwide lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Its domestic sales stood at 1,49,518 units last month. The auto major had reported sales of 76,976 units in March 2020.
Both dispatches and production were hit last year due to the Covid pandemic.
"Domestic sales in March 2020 had dropped about 48 per cent due to COVID related disruptions. It will be seen that domestic sales in March 2021 have only recovered to March 2019 levels," MSI said in a statement.
Sales of mini cars, comprising Alto and S-Presso, stood at 24,653 units last month. The company had sold 15,988 units in March 2020.
