Top 10 selling cars in India in July 2015

The Indian car market holds good potential in the future. A fact, that has been backed by crores of rupees of investment by international car makers in developing production facilities here, despite tough times faced by the Indian automobile industry in recent times.

Nevertheless, manufacturers have been trying their best to make a positive sentiment in
the market by launching new models and the pricing of cars in the mass segment has become rather competitive now. And it has to be said that there are some quite good value for money propositions. And the types of cars that are available now are much wider than what was available ever before. Having said that, most of the top ten selling cars in India tend to hold onto their spots or slide a couple of positions down or up. But they are quite constant at remaining in the list of top ten cars being sold in India.
