"The overall economic scenario has been positive and this has translated into more footfalls in showrooms and higher automobile sales as indicated by this month’s figures," HMIL Senior Vice-President Arvind Saxena said.
He said the company hoped that the economy will continue on growth trajectory as it will help the Indian automotive industry to maintain a double digit growth figure
