Competition
is set to grow in the SUV segment of the automotive society in India says
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. The company’s President for automotive and farm
equipment segment, Pawan Goenka said that with so much competition in the SUV
segment now, Mahindra’s market shares are bound to go down because of this. Mahindra
recognises that Mahindra competitors are growing in number at a fast pace and
the Mahindra SUV in India are challenged strongly by others. With the Mahindra
latest cars in India, Mahindra is looking at solidifying their overall position
and not just in one particular sector only. However, the company is confident
that the Mahindra SUVs in India are very strong and can stand well in the market.
They also expect themselves to maintain the volumes in the SUV segment. As per
the Mahindra news 2013, the company is also set to launch a mix of new products
and is also looking at growing the Tractor business as well.
