What’s In Store?
Going ahead, the company remains optimistic on the demand front despite challenges with a moderately inflationary atmosphere. The company aims at a healthy delivery in the rest of FY23-24 due to a robust order book at JLR, healthy demand for heavy trucks in the commercial vehicle segment, and much-awaited new-generation products in the passenger vehicle segment. The company’s financial performance is estimated to improve due to a richer mix, the implementation of a demand-pull strategy in CV, continual low break-even in the JLR segment, and the improvement of profitability in the PV and CV categories. Furthermore, the demand in the CV category will be fueled by aggressive economic development.
