Speaking on the monthly performance, Pravin Shah, Chief Executive, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said, “Over the last few months, the auto industry has been going through one of its worst phases of the last decade with planned shutdowns being taken by companies to correct demand-supply mismatch. The industry is in desperate need for an immediate stimulus from the government. With interest rates remaining unchanged and the rupee plunging to new lows, lowering of excise duty is the need of the hour which will rev up demand for auto products, leading up to the festive season”.
