Raja, Director & Sr. Vice President, Sales & Marketing - Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, �The ban on registration of diesel vehicles in Delhi & NCR area has affected our sales the past few months and will further affect us adversely due to its continuation. We are hopeful that the matter will be concluded favorably during next hearing, considering all the data and logic presented by us to Hon�ble Supreme Court.

In terms of sales, the Camry and especially Camry hybrid continues to grow at a steady pace. The success of Camry hybrid indicates the willingness of the market to accept alternative fuel technology like hybrid which not only benefits the environment but also conserves fuel. We would like to thank the government who has encouraged our efforts to promote hybrid technology in India including the VAT reduction by Delhi Govt. in recent budget would give further impetus to the growth of hybrid vehicles in India.

We also think a reduction in import duty will further encourage manufacturers to import hybrid cars in India through the CBU route which will therefore encourage more customers to consider hybrid cars as a purchase option.�
