The export numbers are impressive! 21.5% growth year-on-year shows how Indian manufacturing is gaining global recognition. Make in India is working! 🚗✨
While the numbers look good, I hope some of this profit translates into better after-sales service and more affordable maintenance costs for existing customers. The service experience needs improvement in many dealerships.
The rural market penetration reaching 23.6% is remarkable! Shows how automotive demand is growing beyond metro cities. Great to see inclusive growth across India.
Hyundai Creta and Venue are absolute game-changers in the SUV segment. No wonder they're contributing 71% to domestic sales! Perfect combination of style, features, and reliability that Indian buyers want.
The GST 2.0 reforms seem to be having a positive impact on the automotive sector. Good to see policy changes actually benefiting businesses and driving economic growth.
