M&M President, Automotive Sector, Rajan Wadhera said, "We have registered a double-digit growth in our overall sales. However, adverse macroeconomic conditions have impacted the growth forecast for the automotive industry in general."

On the outlook, he said, "Going forward, we hope that the decrease in fuel prices and improving liquidity will drive demand for passenger vehicles."

The company is upbeat due to new product launches of Marazzo, Alturas G4 and the upcoming launch of our new SUV code-named S201, he added.
