The Alto witnessed a drop of over 12.5 per cent in its month-on-month figures.
Renault sold more than 2000 units of the Kwid, keeping its second spot.
The redi-GO is the only car here with a positive month-on-month growth.

The entry-level hatchback segment is populated by just three models right now. Of them, the Alto remains the segment leader by a huge margin over its competitors.

Here is a detailed look at how each entry-level hatchback performed in terms of sales and demand in August:

	August 2019	July 2019	MoM Growth	Market share current(%)	Market share (% last year)	YoY mkt share (%)	Average sales (6 months)
Maruti Suzuki Alto	10123	11577	-12.55	77.48	66.64	10.84	18508
Renault Kwid	2191	2684	-18.36	16.76	16.6	0.16	4737
Datsun redi-GO	751	649	15.71	5.74	5.01	0.73	985
Total	13065	14910	-12.37	99.98

Takeaways

Maruti Alto: Even though the Alto witnessed a 12.55 per cent drop in terms of its month-on-month growth, it is still the ruler of the segment with a market share of almost 77.5 per cent. Maruti was still able to sell more than 10,000 units in August 2019.

The segment overall witnessed a drop of over 12 per cent in month-on-month growth.
