MSIL registered overall sales of 3,60,334 units during the quarter, which showed a growth of 4.9 per cent as compared to 3,43,340 units, which was reported during the corresponding period last year.
Despite the significant impact felt due to opposing currency trends, the company was able to stabilise its condition by the measures of internal cost control and localisation of resources.
Financial Year 2011-12

| Net Sales | Rs. 347,059 Mn | Rs. 358,490 Mn | Down by 3.2% |

| Exports | 127,379 nos | 138,266 nos | Down by 7.9% |
During the year, MSIL's overall profit/loss ratio was affected because of the negative currency trends and rise in the price of commodities. A slow pace in the auto market and the inclination of buyers towards diesel engine cars also created an impact on the performance.
Dividend maintained at 150 per cent
For fiscal 2011, the MSIL's Board of Directors suggested to pay a dividend of 150 per cent, which states Rs. 7.00 on every share that has a face value of Rs. 5.00. However, the dividend paid in the fiscal 2010 was also 150 per cent.
