In an official statement Mr. Anant Goenka, Managing Director asserted that in this quarter that ended on September 30, 2016, their overall sales volume saw a growth of above 13 percent on YoY basis. The reason of this increment has been the double-digit growth in the domestic as well as exports segments, which was a result of their rigorous focus on the passenger car segment, he added. According to Mr. Anant Goenka, the margins saw some drop on the YoY basis, which was mainly because of the price cuts taken during the previous quarters.
