Why this matters
April's 11% sales gain shows Mahindra's truck and bus business still growing, even though the company says the commercial vehicle industry moderated because of the fiscal year transition, inflation and geopolitical uncertainty. The executive warns that supply chain risks and higher input costs could hurt demand in the coming months.
