In order to meet the 240,000 sales target, Zainal said the company must deliver as many cars as possible before the end of the sales tax exemption on June 30, 2022. On a month-to-month comparison, Perodua sales dropped 27.1% to 20,299 units in November from 27,858 units registered in October, the highest sales month in its history so far. Perodua registered 167,250 units between January to November 2021, down 14.2% from 194,980 units registered in the same period last year. To recap, Perodua in September already revised its sales target for 2021 by 26,000 units to 214,000 from its initial projection of 240,000 units. Last month, Zainal said the company was unlikely to meet its already revised sales targets of 214,000 units for 2021 due to a chip shortage.
