Commenting on the monthly performance, Rajan Wadhera, President, Automotive Sector, M&M Ltd. said, “For past few months, the automotive industry has been witnessing subdued retail sales for passenger vehicles segment, because of low consumer buying sentiment.

However, at Mahindra we are happy with the response to our Marazzo as well as the uptake for our commercial vehicle portfolio, driven by the newly launched Maha Bolero Pik-up (with 1,700 kg payload) in October”.
