Speaking on the monthly performance, Pravin Shah, Chief Executive, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra mentioned, "High interest rates, rising fuel prices and an overall slowdown in economic growth has kept consumer sentiment low during 2012. This is also evident in the auto industry sales performance for December, which traditionally has been a lean month. We do hope that corrective measures are announced and implemented soon bringing in the much needed buoyancy and growth for the industry. At Mahindra, we are happy to maintain our growth momentum even during these challenging times".
