Harsha Viji, executive vice chairman, said, While the first quarter of last year was almost a complete washout due to the national lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw a strong recovery in the second half led by the tractor, tipper and construction equipment segments. Our double-digit disbursements growth in fourth quarter is a clear indication that we were seeing business coming back to the pre-COVID levels.
