the month Pravin Shah, Chief Executive, Automotive Division, Mahindra &
Mahindra said, “The recently announced GDP numbers are in line with
expectations and we do not foresee any immediate impact on the monetary policy.
Till there is a decrease in interest rates for corporate or retail
credits, financing rates will remain high for auto customers which is a
cause of concern. However we expect interest rates to reduce during the last
quarter of the current financial year. We are happy to maintain our growth
trend on the back of our portfolio of products especially the Quanto which has
crossed more than 12,000 bookings in just over two months”.
