      Commenting on the sales performance for October 2016, Pravin Shah, president and chief executive, Mahindra and Mahindra, said, “The festive season has brought about some cheer for the automotive industry with improved sentiments, on the back of a near normal monsoon, the rural surge in demand and some new vehicle launches. Some of our power brands such as the Bolero, Scorpio, TUV300 and the Pickups have performed well. At Mahindra, we are happy to achieve a 28 per cent growth in our exports. We have expanded our electric vehicle portfolio (zero emissions) over the last one month by adding the eSupro range and the e2oPlus. We have a cumulative growth of 12 per cent in UV, 19 per cent in Exports and a 9 per cent overall growth and hope to see the growth momentum continue for the remaining part of the year.”
