Mahindra became a leader in the SUV revenue market share in the present quarter four and in the second half of FY22. The company's FES gained 180 basis points market share in the present fiscal year, informed Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director of Mahindra and Mahindra. “With over 170k bookings, the demand for the automotive product portfolio remains strong. FES delivered the second-highest full-year PBIT (profit before interest and tax) despite market slowdown and steep commodity inflation. Given the recent fiscal and monetary measures by the Government of India and RBI, we foresee the cost pressures in the economy to ease out," he was quoted as in a PTI report.
