Maruti Suzuki's Performance Over the Week

Maruti Suzuki's share price opened the trading day down 0.7% on the BSE.

According to an article in The Financial Express, automobile dealers around the country have reported seeing a sharp fall in sales after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's surprise move to ban 500 and 1,000 rupee denominated notes last month, which accounted for 86% of currency in circulation.

Sales of two-wheelers are likely to be impacted the most since around 40% of transactions are financed by cash.

The move has sparked concern, it will dent growth in India's consumer demand-reliant economy at a time when gross domestic product had expanded at an annual 7.3% between July and September, the fastest rate for a large economy.
