From the screenshot it can be understood that Maruti Suzuki offers discounts, this means consumers are price sensitive- If price is reduced more consumers will buy automobiles from Maruti Suzuki.
But it is not only price that plays an important role in sales of automobiles, but factors such as rise of income, competitors’ price, preferences of people, price of petrol, increase in working population are equally influential in sales of automobiles. So, because the market is dynamic therefore other factors influencing demand of automobiles over shadow increase the price of automobiles. Therefore, such figures are produced as in the Figure where sales increase with increase in price. India: per capita income 2024 | Statista
In this we can see that income of people is rising this means that they have more purchasing power to buy automobiles from maruti suzuki . India: salary increase 2024 | Statista
Here it can be seen that the assets of Maruti Suzuki India are increasing. It means that they are investing and producing more over years this also impacts demand and supply as scale of production is also increasing. This is an important factor while determining the price of automobiles. (Production-Cost Relationship) https://www.moneycontrol.com/financials/marutisuzukiindia/balance-sheetVI/MS24#MS24
From the above data it is quite clear that expenses of Maruti Suzuki India are increasing, this means that they must be producing more and expanding their level of operation each year. This can be done to increase output and reduce costs further to maximize profit. From Figure 1 we can see that the profit of Maruti Suzuki has increased over the years. https://www.moneycontrol.com/financials/marutisuzukiindia/profit-lossVI/MS24/2
From the above graph we can infer, Maruti Suzuki India is operating in a milder oligopoly market structure.There are 12 competitors who capture almost all market share of automobiles( Passenger Car Market).

This means that other factors that influence price are working behind such relationship like increase in income of people, expansion of operations by Maruti Suzuki, increase in population that has purchasing power capacity. The relationship Manager holds the view that even if we increase or decrease the price of cars by 10% there will not be much change in demand as the elasticity of demand will be inelastic. After looking at data from reports published by Maruti Suzuki and Statista, it can be considered that a 10% increase or decrease in price is not a major change in price and will not impact demand. But if prices are reduced or increased at a higher rate then it will impact on the purchasing power of people and demand will become elastic.
In this demand curve it can be infer that demand rises with fall in price but in market other factors also influence demand because of which demand rises even if price is increased.
