Q4 F2019 – M&M + MVML** Results

The muted demand in rural India on account of poor distribution of SW monsoon, a deficit NE monsoon and weak agricultural incomes due to poor price realization, stress in the NBFC sector leading to tight credit conditions along with low demand in urban India and the overall sluggishness in the economy led to a fall in both the tractor and automotive industry during Q4 of F2019.

Despite the above mentioned head winds impacting the PV segment the Company successfully weathered these challenges and sold 77,607 vehicles during Q4 F2019 recording a growth of 7% over the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The launch of the cheetah inspired and stylish XUV300 having best-in-segment safety features, first-in-segment hi-tech features and class-defining interiors helped the Company grow its Utility Vehicle sales by 6.8% in Q4 F2019 with a market share of 27.9%.

F2019 – Group Consolidated Results

A full summation of Gross Revenue and other income of all the group companies taken together for the year ended 31st March 2019 is Rs. 1,44,033 crores (USD 20.7 billion).

Outlook:

Domestic economic activity had weakened during F2019 especially during the second half of F2019 and there are continued uncertainties with respect to the extent of monsoon activity for this year. The expectations in the global scenario are also muted due to the potential for further escalation in global trade tensions. In this scenario, the new Government coming back with a decisive mandate provides cause for optimism, signalling a period of political stability, continuity in governance and consistency in policy decisions. The 100 day plan mentioned by the Government also demonstrates the resolve of the new Government to hit the ground running. Inflation projections are benign, and it is expected to remain below the target level of 4%, leading to expectations of a continued accommodative policy stance by the RBI. These as well as other factors like improved Bank credit off-take, increased financial flows to the commercial sector and expected stability in crude oil and other commodity prices, provide reasons for recovery in economic growth in the coming quarters.
