Mr. Mayank Pareek, President, Passenger Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors Ltd. Said, “Due to heavy rains across the country and floods in Kerala, the consumer sentiment was muted. Despite a challenging month, we have recorded a growth of 28% Y-o-Y. The demand for our new generation vehicles has helped us maintain this consistent month on month growth. We are happy to report that the UV segment has performed exceptionally well, with a growth of 93%. This month also marked the milestone of the 50,000th Nexon rolling out of the Ranjangaon plant. The Nexon is one of the most loved and appreciated compact SUVs in the market today. We will continue to strive towards driving volumes and increasing our market share as part of our on-going turnaround journey.”
