According to Veejay Nakra, Chief Executive Officer, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd. “At Mahindra we have witnessed a growth of 5% in Utility Vehicles in the month of December. Our overall sales have been affected due to the continuing supply chain challenges related to the constantly changing global environment, more specifically the supply shortage of micro-processors (semiconductors) used in Electronic Control Unit (ECUs). Demand continues to remain strong even after the festive season and as we get into the new year.”
