Mahindra & Mahindra on Wednesday reported a massive decline of 88
per cent in its total vehicle sales in March to 7,401 units due to the
Covid-19 outbreak.
The company had sold 62,952 units in March 2019.
Its
domestic sales last month stood at 6,130 units, 90 per cent lower than
59,012 vehicles sold in February 2019, the company said in a regulatory
filing.
Segment-wise, in passenger vehicles which includes UVs,
cars and vans, Mahindra sold 3,384 vehicles during the month under
review, compared to 27,646 in March 2019.
In the commercial Vehicles segment, the company sold 2,325 vehicles in March 2020, as against 24,423 units in March 2019.
Additionally, exports for March 2020 declined by 68 per cent on a YoY basis to 1,271 vehicles.
Commenting
on the performance, Veejay Ram Nakra, Chief Executive Officer,
Automotive Division, M&M said: "Our performance in March has been
muted on account of the impact of the current lock-down related to
Covid-19 and the disruption in our BS VI ramp-up plan."
"The
latter was planned between February and March but was affected due to
the challenges of parts supply from global and local suppliers. We have
been able to clear our BS-IV inventory, but for fewer than 100 vehicles.
However, there are many vehicles that are sold, but not yet registered
because of the closure of RTOs."
