"Our performance has been in line with our expectations given the overall impact of 2nd wave of COVID-19 and resultant restrictions. However, in Domestic Commercial Vehicle (CV) market our performance was sub optimal due to overall low demand. From 3rd week of June, we see domestic market stabilizing and improvement in utilization of fleet owners and improvement in freight rates.

We feel there should be considerable pick up in Commercial Vehicle (CV) demand from Q2 & followed by festive season demand in Q3.

The recent new order wins shows that Company has been able to create significant in roads in European CV market, strengthening Company's exports orderbook further.

We have also made significant foray in roads in Mining & Excavator segments in domestic market.
