The first day of the new month brings about new vigour in the auto sector/industry of the market as the country's automobile companies release their sales numbers for the previously concluded month.
Mahindra At Number 3
As per schedule, the companies released their numbers for the month of September. In this, the market leader Maruti Suzuki emerged on top with sales of 144,962 units of passenger vehicles, far ahead of its competitors.
But, the real battle for supremacy, at least secondary supremacy came in the next three spots. Mahindra Group's Mahindra & Mahindra (51,062) edged past market major Tata Motors (41,063 units) to occupy the third spot and was just at a touching distance from the second-placed IPO-bound Hyundai (51,101 units).
We Grow Together
Anand Mahindra reacted to this piece of news in his own humble style. Mahindra, as usual, took to his official X account to share his thoughts.
Mahindra said,"The only race worth winning is the one you race against yourself; Against your OWN aspirations."
Invoking the Tata Group's Tata Motors, Mahindra said, "We have always seen Tata Motors as a respected elder brother that spurs us to keep improving ourselves. "
Harping on the matter of collective growth, Mahindra went on to add, "And we hope that we too motivate them to reach new heights. The journey will always have twists and turns, but we continue to travel together."
