Impressive numbers all around! But I'm worried about Hyundai's 13,900 unit production loss due to supply chain fire. Shows how fragile our manufacturing ecosystem is. However, kudos to HMIL for recovering within 10 days. That's what happens when your supply chain is truly global. 🚗💪
As someone working in the auto industry, these numbers are incredible. Maruti's 42,768 exports is huge! But honestly, how sustainable is this growth with rising fuel prices and inflation? Hope the companies are investing in EV infrastructure too. We can't just keep selling petrol cars forever.
Fantastic performance by Mahindra! 37% overall growth and 28% in UVs shows how much Indians love their SUVs. But I wish they'd focus more on affordable electric options. The XUV.e8 is nice, but it's too pricey for middle-class families like mine. Need something in the ₹10-15 lakh range. 😊
Good numbers but where are the EVs? Tata Motors isn't even mentioned here. Their Nexon EV is selling like hot cakes. Need more focus on electric mobility if India wants to meet its 2030 targets. Also, Maruti's 200K+ monthly sales is amazing, but their EV lineup is still missing. Wake up, Maruti!
Very proud of our auto sector! Especially Mahindra's 125% export growth - that's making India a global hub. But I'm concerned about the supply chain issues. Hyundai's fire incident shows how one disruption can impact thousands. Need more localisation of
