reason for the drop in sales
The Maruti Suzuki company has today given information about the reason for the decline in sales in November 2021. According to the company, the decline in sales is due to shortage of electronic components such as semiconductor chips in the country. Due to the Corona epidemic, there has been a decrease in the production of semiconductor chips around the world. In such a situation, due to India’s foreign dependence for these chips, many industries have suffered, including the automobile industry. However, industries that systematically used limited resources did not face much difficulty. Many car and bike makers also acted wisely and made some changes in their production process. But many companies could not do this, including Maruti Suzuki. This has resulted in a decline in the sales of the company.
