M&M Managing Director Pawan Goenka told PTI, "We have two products coming in the next two years. One is the U321 (code name) multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) which has been developed on the new global platform developed here in Detroit. It will come out this financial year,"

Both the vehicles will be launched in India first, and then the company will consider if its needs to offer these vehicles in other countries. The company is performing consistently in the Indian market with market share of 8 percent. But that has not changed much in the last few years.

On the future, he added: "Clearly, every company will wish to grow its market share, and for that, we need to ensure our current products continue to do well and bring in volumes."

DriveSpark Thinks!

Mahindra & Mahindra recently lost its crown as India's largest utility vehicle manufacturer to Maruti Suzuki. The company will need to re-think before any new vehicles are launched in India so that they have a winner in their product lineup.
