These sales comprise 1,447 cars and vans (-32% YoY) and 14,433 utility vehicles (-12% YoY). The company, which has a predominantly diesel-engined vehicle portfolio, is feeling the pressure of stagnating sales from rural India and also the narrowing price differential between petrol and diesel.
However, the company is optimistic about sales going forward.

The new XUV500 has been very well received by customers.”
