As planned, the company is on track to reducing dealer level BSIV stock in the domestic market and is confident of retailing it this month.

On a consolidated basis, the auto maker's net profit fell 26.1% to Rs 150.61 crore on a 7% decline in net sales to Rs 4765.99 crore in Q3 December 2019 over Q3 December 2018.
