Each month we bring you the Winners & Losers comparison, where winners are those which saw an improvement in sales over the previous month and losers being those which witness a decline in sales. There were zero sales in April 2020 and lockdowns were lifted only towards the end of May due to which sales were obviously low. Therefore most of the cars saw an obvious increase in sales in June over May 2020; however there were some which still suffered from a decline.

The Isuzu D-MAX sales show a phenomenal contrast with just 3 units sold in May 2020, it sold it 207 units in June which is also the highest ever monthly sales it has achieved since its introduction. Sales of newly launched Yaris picked up in June and obviously with no 1.3 liter variants on sale, the Corolla sales were reduced but still managed to sell more than it did in May. The least improvement was witnessed in Suzuki Wagon R and the once best selling Alto.

| Suzuki Ravi | 524 | 441 | -16% |
| Suzuki Cultus | 922 | 830 | -10% |
The sales of old papas Bolan & Ravi got reduced even when other cars saw their graph shooting up. Surprisingly the Cultus has again been unable to match its previous month’s sales and has registered a 10% decline from previous month.
