While doing that, we want to grow our profits by 1% each year until we reach our highest historical levels of profit, which are between 18% and 20%.”

The Indian automotive sector will switch to Bharat Stage VI-B emission norms from 1 st April onwards. The passenger vehicles will be required to disclose their corporate average fuel economy (CAFE-II) scores with the government. The companies must also adhere to Real Driving Emissions (RDE) regulations. These adjustments may result in a price rise for the new components across all categories.
