While on the domestic front, the industry faced challenges in creating fresh demand from the market, which was also reflected in HCIL domestic sales, we recorded our highest ever export volumes, led by a strong export business of Elevate to Japan. The recent launch of All-New Amaze has been well received from the market, strengthening our position in the family sedan segment.”
