The Indica crossed the 2,00,000 sale mark on September 22, 2002, inclusive of exports, in 43 months since the commencement of its sales. While the first 1,00,000 sale mark was achieved in March 2001 within a span of 25 months, the second 1,00,000 sale has been achieved in just 18 months.

Indica became the leader in the compact (B) segment in September 2001, and since then has maintained its position as the largest selling car in its category barring the period of April-May 2002 when the plant underwent a planned shut-down for the Indigo production switchover activities.

Indica has grown by 26 per cent this fiscal (April – August 2002) against a segment growth rate of only 10 per cent and the overall passenger vehicle market growth of a marginal 0.4 per cent. Its market share at 22.4 per cent is ahead of its share of 19.7 per cent in the April – August 2001 period.
