New Delhi Ford India posted yet another tremendous record sale this month, witnessing a 272 per cent growth in year-on year sales for the month of May when compared to May 2009.

The Ford Figo continued to be the top seller as Ford India sold a total of 8,080 units (all models) during the month of May as compared to 2,168 units sold during previous year.

Ford India also saw an increase in its month-on-month sales with May posting higher sales than April, achieving a 7.6 per cent high against last month's sale of 7509 units. Other Ford brands also saw a rise in demands which added to the overall volume for May with all the brands performing well.

Ford India will commence its second production shift at its manufacturing plant in Maramalainagar from July, with training of new employees already underway, to meet strong demands for its products especially the Figo.

Michael Boneham, president and managing director of Ford India said “We have achieved more than 20000 bookings since launch and are happy to see more and more Ford Figos gaining visibility and presence on road. It's great to see building positive sales results month after month, and bettering our sales performance from last month.”
