New Delhi, Oct 1 (PTI) Toyota Kirloskar Motor on Tuesday reported a 14 per cent year-on-year increase in wholesales at 26,847 units in September.

The automaker had dispatched 23,590 units to its dealers in September last year.

The company sold 23,802 units in the domestic market and exported 3,045 units, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) said in a statement.

"As the festive fervour picks up footfalls and enquiries are charged up, which makes us positive of a very good festive season. Notably, our SUV, MPV, and small car segments have experienced significant growth nationwide, contributing over 90 per cent to our sales in the month of September," TKM Vice President, Sales-Service-Used Car Business, Sabari Manohar said.
