We do hope that the sentiments improve and change post the national elections, leading to an increase in demand as well. At Mahindra, we are happy with our overall performance for the month of March where the de-growth is negligible at 0.5%. Going forward, we continue to be optimistic for the future and expect to witness a growth momentum during FY 2014-15.”
