19 December 2012 : It has barely been 2 months since Maruti Alto 800 stepped out of its production facility into the real world of wheels and wagons, and the car has already reached the staggering mark of 50,000 in sales. However, incredible or unbelievable this might sound, for those who have been tracking this flagship Indian hatch from the very onset, this news should not be coming as much of a shock. And that's because when a car, even before its actual launch, can clock in a record-breaking sales figure of over 6,500, these astounding numbers of the present day seem like just another milestone in its journey. The month of November, especially, that saw many strong players like General Motors, Ford and Toyota facing significant dips in their sales curves, recorded nothing but lines shooting straight for the sky when it came to the graphs for Maruti Alto 800. Successfully registering 23,550 bookings in the sole month of November itself, the figures for this small car were much higher than many of its rivals' numbers put together. But that's hardly anything new for MSI.
