Brezza is lagging because of a chip shortage
Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza fell to the seventh position, which is very rare. Only 1,847 units of the small SUV were produced by the manufacturer. It is because Maruti Suzuki's manufacturing is reduced due to a chip shortage. The shifts are cut from two to one at its manufacturing plants, resulting in a 60% reduction in overall production capacity.
Nexon EV boosts Tata Motor's sales significantly
Tata Nexon EV is India's best-selling EV. Tata sold 1,022 units and tt was the first time that an electric car's monthly sales exceeded the four-digit mark. Tata said that demand for the Nexon EV is similar to that for the Nexon Diesel.

In comparison, the diesel Nexon price is between Rs. 8.58 lakhs and Rs. 13.23 lakhs ex-showroom. Additionally, the increasing price of petrol and diesel has benefitted the the Nexon EV.
