Fiat has a boom sales success in India, selling 2,690 cars in the month of July, up from 412 sold in July 2008. The Fiat India sales in July can be added to those of the first six months of this year, at a total of 7,544 units. That’s a huge increase on the 1,813 Fiats sold in the same period last year.

It seems that the Fiat-Tata collaboration is already paying off, with the inception of Fiat Automobiles India Ltd. The company has broadened its dealership network and introduced the 1.3 Multijet engine on the Palio Stile model. It seems Fiat has also been able to conquer the hearts of the Indian press with the Linea model.

The Fiat 500 is a success but only in a niche market, with customers who can afford the import duties, but the Grande Punto, which has been manufactured in India since June, is affecting these July sales figures, showing promise for the future.
