The company said sales were boosted by the company’s sedan Verna and hatchback Eon offerings, which were launched recently.
‘In a challenging market we have been able to grow volumes and market share on the strength of our new launches – Verna and Eon,’ Arvind Saxena, director, marketing and sales, Hyundai Motor India said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the company’s exports jumped by 69.8 percent in the last month at 22,080 units against 13,000 units in the corresponding period of 2010.
